DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★★★ - perfect

"I have loved her even when I hated her... only married couples will understand that one..." - Cal

Why watch this? ... for the film's climax, where all plots and secrets are hilariously revealed.

Plot Summary: This story is about Cal Weaver, who is devastated when his wife asks for a divorce. At a local singles bar, a suave womanizer named Jacob Palmer takes Cal under his wing to help him navigate the dating world. Meanwhile, Jacob, unexpectedly finds himself falling for a woman who doesn't fall for his usual moves.

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.
