Dan In Real Life

I just saw this movie last night and was elated that it was as good as it was. It was absolutely FULL of laughs.  Usually when I go to a comedy I’m just expecting to see the jokes I saw in the commercial with relatively boring parts in between (like “Fred Clause” – also a good movie but this one is way funnier).  Steve Carell is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors.  I can’t watch “The Office” because it is just too awkward for me (I know that’s the point but it’s still too much for me to take on a weekly basis).  The same kind of awkwardness used in the sitcom can be found in “40 Year Old Virgin” but I could handle that knowing it would be over soon.  “Dan in Real Life” has a bunch of those moments but it isn’t just a billion awkward scenes strung together so those moments are actually funnier because they’re broken up.
