Disney has sent us a full media kit for the upcoming Steve Carell family comedy Dan in Real Life. The movie follows an Advice columnist/relationship expert who somehow struggles to succeed as a brother, a son and a single parent in this heartfelt comedy from director Peter Hedges (Pieces Of April). The movie also stars Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook, John Mahoney, Emily Blunt and Dianne Wiest.
The film’s new one-sheet movie poster can be seen to the right. Steve Carell’s head in a pile of maple syrup covered pancakes = funny. You can click on the poster image to enlarge. After the jump we also have two new production photos and the film’s theatrical movie trailer.
I find it curious that Carell has chosen to take the family friendly comedy route considering his big break with the R-Rated 40-Year-Old-Virgin. I also find it funny that family comedy films have adopted a “family friendly” voice-over guy who is less abrasive than the usual deep voiced trailer voice-over guy.
Dan in Real Life will hit theaters on October 26th 2007.

After seeing the trailer for this movie, I’m none too stoked about it. As much as I love Steve Carell and especially Dane Cook, I don’t really want to see ‘em both in a drama-comedy (notice I didn’t say “comedy-drama” implying that comedy came 1st). I love ‘em both as comedians, but I’m afraid I’ll have to rent this one.

I don’t know..I mean Evan Almighty wasn’t that great..yes he’s good at family friendly movies, but I’m not to sure about this one..I guess he just wants to make movies that his kids can see and go “look it’s dad” cause god knows he’ll never let his kids see” the 40 year old virgin” ha ha.

This movie looks pretty good, but I may wait for this one to come out on DVD. Still think it will do pretty good maybe not great, but who knows.

This movie looks AWESOME!!! I love Steve Carell and this is quite the change from his character in the office, which I LOVE, and it is going to be so awesome seeinbg him in the role of a loving, caring father who has a crush.

Just saw the movie over the weekend. It’s actually pretty good. It’s nice to see Steve and Dane mixing it up a bit. Not every movie needs to be like VIRGIN, although it IS one of my favorites.
This is a fun film and is definitely worth the price of a rental.
