Bea and I had a wonderful date night last night where we had a nice dinner and then we went to the movies for the first time in FOREVER. We went to Dan in Real Life because it looked good, Bea didn't want to see American Gangster, and Randy wrote a great review of the film. We didn't know much about the movie ahead of time. We just knew it had Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, and Dane Cook. We thought it would be indie style, but on the lighter side.
We were wrong.
I literally had tears streaming down my cheeks during this film. Without giving too much away, it's a story of a man with three daughters whose wife died four years earlier. They are at a big family reunion of sorts and an awkward love story ensues. Anything that has to do with daughters ruins me because I love my girls so much.
It was fun to watch their family interact. I want to be a family like that. They were honest and fun. They played charades, took walks, played football, ate big meals together, and went bowling.
This was a great film, but don't think of it as a comedy. It's a crying movie.

that reminds me of my first date with my husband- we saw "Sleepless in Seattle" which is funny but that first scene where they're at his wife's funeral... oh my. Poor Tom was in tears within the first 2 minutes...
I'm glad this is a good movie; we need a good date night!!!
