...cheesy delivery. Thankfully, Carell rescues the film with the comic timing for which he is known. While hackneyed lines tend to trivialize his more emotional moments, Carell’s self-deprecating humor reveals his understanding of a deeper character beneath the script’s more obvious jokes. Overall, such groan-inducing ploys are the weakest point of “Dan in Real Life.” Several family discussions debate the film’s blatant concerns, including “Will Dan ever find love again?” But despite the overabundance of eye-rolling...

...true that the Governor was lucky, it's also true that luck favors the well-prepared. Schwarzenegger was able to move those National Guard troops quickly because he had a plan in place to redeploy them in an emergency. The obvious competence of the emergency response - in stark contrast to the debacle of Hurricane Katrina - was the product of years of training, planning and drills...
