Dan in Real Life

What's an advice columnist widower (Steve Carell) with three daughters to do? He finds a girl and likes her, but she's dating his brother (Dane Cook). It starts off promising, melancholy and sweet. But when Juliette Binoche enters the picture, it sharply derails. It's not her fault; it's just an unfortuante coincidence. Too bad she enters the movie about ten minutes into it. The acting gets forced, the story gets contrived, the script gets formulaic, the Bourne Critic gets bored.
