The first trailer for Steve Carell’s next movie Dan in Real Life has just popped up online. While the film’s poster (to your right) is hilarious (Steve on food is good), the movie apparently is not. Dan’s trailer makes it look like Steve Carell’s bid to be taken seriously as an actor, or they’re just trying to make me vomit. I can’t tell which it is.
It’s a cliché monstrosity, an awful feel good about the complications of life trailer using that standard, cliché “oh isn’t life beautiful” music that every movie like this uses. After Evan Almighty Carell could really use a career recharge, and this really doesn’t look like it will be it. Steve plays an advice columnist and single father of three girls who falls for his brother’s girlfriend. Wonderful lessons about love and life and laughter ensue.
Get depressed about Steve Carell’s future and watch the first, formulaic, annoying trailer for Dan in Real Life in high-res here, or play the embed below:
