Dan in real life


Dan Burns (Steve Carell), is a newspaper columnist and a widowed father of three girls. Dan and his daughters take a trip to the home of his parents and we meet the rest of Dan's family, including his brother Mitch (Dane Cook). The morning after his arrival, Dan is encouraged by his mother to go into town for a bit to give his daughters some space. Dan visits a bookstore and is mistaken for an employee by a beautiful woman, Marie (Juliette Binoche). Dan and Marie strike up a conversation and continue their talk over coffee. They lose track of time, but both are clearly attracted to the other. Dan returns to his parents and is surprised when Mitch introduces the arrival of his girlfriend, who is none other than Marie.

With Alison Pill, Dane Cook, Juliette Binoche and Steve Carell.
