Dan - Mitten im Leben

...Dan and Marie hardly know each other, and social awkwardness is the most difficult hurdle between here and happiness. That's why the movie's so soothingly pleasant.

This is not romance by some Hollywood schematic, but a clumsy, painful, yearning trial by indignity.

...Carell gør et formidabelt stykke arbejde i at bevare den hårfine balance mellem komedie og tragedie, der er Dan Burns.

...Steve Carell är så fruktansvärt bra...

...a much funnier and moving film than that description would suggest.
