Dan in Real Life Trailer

I figured Steve Carell would eventually find his way onto the tame, boring romantic comedy scene, but I had hoped we'd get at least one more 40-Year-Old Virgin out of him before that time arrived. Now it seems it may be too late, as I fear Dan in Real Life is the giant meteor signaling the end of the Carell we know and love and the beginning of this banal wiener seen here. He's so likable in this trailer that it would make John Cusack sick.

On the plus side, kudos to them for casting Dane Cook as the douche brother, a role that fits him as well as one of his idiotic leather wristbands.
