Dad's Preview:
This was another brilliant career choice for Steve Carell. He impresses me film
after film. This wonderful romance is about falling out of
love, adult dating, teen crushes, and falling back in love again.
Whew! That's a lot. There's great dialog between our
various characters.
Nothing is funnier than Carell at a singles bar... trying
to look cool and pick up women. I was also impressed by the
performance of young Jonha, Bobo, as Carell's teen son who has a
crush on his babysitter. |
