Enjoyment

I was alone lastnight, my husband was on nights.  Usually I watch a movie that he would not pick for us to watch together.  He likes his mobster-shoot em up bad guy-sometimes comedies.  I like to watch thought provoking-full of awesome lines-non fluffy but yet about love movies.

Which is why "Dan In Real Life" is a favorite of mine. 

It was not the most thought provoking movie but it was darn funny and the comments about love were oh so true!  I laughed, I wanted to cry {especially when Dan and his girls talk about missing Mom}, and laughed again.  It's comedy with class, not comedy that makes you laugh but then you feel guilty for laughing because it's just so wrong what the comedian is saying.

Here is the trailer.....


And some great quotes.....

Jane Burns: [about driving] If you don't let me, I'll never learn.

Dan Burns: But if I let you, you might not live.



(In this quote they were talking about Dan's wife who had passed on)
Marie: You don't have to smile.

Dan Burns: It's better than the alternative.


Marty Barasco: Love is not a feeling, Mr. Burns. It's an ability

And the movie ends with Dan writing his article with this.....
Dan Burns: Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.

If you like movies such as "Juno", "Little Miss Sunshine" {a bit more crude humour in this one} or "Away We Go" you will love "Dan In Real Life".
