      Simple and casual

      Seriously off-topic movie review. The movie itself is very good. I gave it five stars because I especially like the atmosphere of the family gathering together and the casual way of getting along in the movie. When we meet, simple words are good. The wind rushes to the beach, dances sasa to music in the early morning, and performs a little show similar to the tongue knotting cherry stems... I can't help but recall the party at the Chinese wine table, forced awkward chats, forced toasts, all...

      The three views are not correct, but also relaxed and happy.

      The three views of the film are not correct. It is obvious that the brothers have a good relationship, or the whole family relationship is very harmonious, but the male protagonist dug the corner of his brother for his own distress.
             No ordinary novel has such a script. Novels often have the character of a bad guy, but this drama doesn't have a bad guy setting, so in many places, it's unreasonable.
             But there are still a lot of interesting things about this movie....

      Kiss Dad Dan in Real Life

      Personally, I feel that the hero and heroine express the embarrassment and helplessness expressed by love to the fullest, and express the pursuit and yearning for love heartily! Although others witnessed their kiss in the bowling factory a bit sudden, but it was not bad at all! The secret of the hostess has not been announced from beginning to end, it is still quite mysterious!
      Life is full of unhappiness and helplessness. It is not easy for middle-aged people to fall in love, let alone...

      The collision of various worldviews

      I have seen many types of American films before, such as Eagle Country films, and
      I have never felt such a big difference between them
      . I felt that after watching this film. . .

      If I were Dan myself,
      I'd rather try to suppress my inner love for Marie
      than steal my brother's girlfriend.

      If I were Dan's parents,
      I might not be able to forgive my son's behavior
      and criticize him severely.

      If I were Dan's brother
      I can’t even forgive...

      Is this comedy?

      Watching this movie is like eating sweet honey. It is a bit painful to find a fly in it. The first half is full of love for the daughters, but the second half of flirting with my brother's girlfriend is really unbearable! The younger brother has brought his girlfriend home, which means that the relationship between the hero and the heroine is very serious...

      especially the part where the heroine bakes muffins and is jealous. Some people commented that they were very happy to watch,...

      Why do I love watching group dramas so much, whether it's a family or a group of close friends~~~ The part about family is okay, let alone love, how can he rob his younger brother's girlfriend!...

    Evaluation action

    "Dan in Real Life" talks about family themes, middle-aged care, and human nature discussions. In addition, it incorporates a little bit of relaxed American humor and not profound irony. There is no sensory stimulation, and some are just as comfortable and leisurely as listening to the story. Steven John Carell's conflicting roles in the dilemma of taking care of the children and pursuing his cousin and girlfriend in the film gave him a...
