Overview
Advice columnist, Dan Burns is an expert on relationships, but somehow struggles to succeed as a brother, a son and a single parent to three precocious daughters. Things get even more complicated when Dan finds out that the woman he falls in love with is actually his brother's new girlfriend.
The presence of Carrell and Binoche (and a fantastic supporting case) make this movie better than it has any right to be. There isn’t anything that you haven’t seen before, but I had an enjoyable time watching it.
