‘Dan in Real Life’
Dan in Real Life (Oct. 12), the new dramedy from Peter Hedges (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Pieces of April). Steve Carell (pictured) plays a single father-of-three-girls who falls for the girlfriend (Juliette Binoche) of his brother (Dane Cook), and the whole thing appears to take place in a family-stuffed, catalog-ready autumn New England dreamscape. (Hopefully, there’s at least one scene with everybody out on the front lawn playing touch football in cozy sweaters.) Only one thing’s wrong with this trailer: the voiceover guy whose narration hits all the usual movie-trailer notes (”But the only thing you can truly plan on… is to be surprised!”) sounds like a second-stringer. His voice lacks the faux-gravitas of those anonymous voiceovers we’re used to in trailers like this, don’t you think? In fact, he kind of sounds like the announcer-man from that great Shining mock trailer from a while back — agreed?
