Carell and Cook also pull off the rare feat of actually seeming to be real brothers, best demonstrated in an absolutely beautiful scene in which the two of them sing "Let My Love Open the Door" together.

Anyway, I can only use so many synonyms for "nice" and "likable." I'm assuming you get the gist of the movie by now. Dan in Real Life is the perfect "feel good" movie - not because it's hilarious, not because the good guys win the big game, not because so-and-so finally gets with so-and-so in the end - just because it's a portrait of a happy, loving family, and it lets us come in from the cold and spend some time with them.

Movie Grade: A-

Synopsis:
