Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Carell is appealing and the family drama plays out as something real that sort of sneaks up on you in a good way. ...read the complete Dan in Real Life movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

He is content to exist on the screen without sending wild semaphores of his intentions, his uniqueness and how funny he is. ...read the complete Dan in Real Life movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Seeing the name of Iowa writer Peter Hedges on a movie (What's Eating Gilbert Grape, About a Boy, Pieces of April) means you're in for a unique blend of humor and heartbreak, with the bruising and healing powers of family right at the core. ...read the complete Dan in Real Life movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

PopMatters (Cynthia Fuchs)

When Dan (Steve Carell) wakes in the morning, his bed is littered with papers and his laptop, sure sign that he’s been working late and has no sweetie with whom to cuddle. He does, however, have three lovely daughters, to whom he is plainly devoted. He...read the complete Dan in Real Life (2007) review at PopMatters (Cynthia Fuchs)
