Advice columnist and widowed father of three Dan Burns (Steve Carell) has met someone new in this romantic comedy from director Peter Hedges. But even though Marie (Juliette Binoche) is beautiful and smart, she's also the girlfriend of Dan's brother Mitch (Dane Cook). With a publicly recognized moral compass, Dan finds himself torn between reaching for happiness and keeping the peace in his family.
I'm a big fan of Steve Carell, so I figured this film couldn't miss. However, I found myself feeling indifferent to it. No surprised here -- very linear love story that ends the way you expect it to.
