An advice columnist (Steve Carell) falls in love with his brothers (Dane Cook) girlfriend (Juliet Binoch) while attending a family reunion. Formulaic sounding fair elevated by likable cast (minus Cook), with Carell demonstrating the abelness in the romantic comedy genera he first assayed in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Binoch’s character is moderately beguiling but always feels more like the writers construct then a real person. Pleasant soundtrack. Three out of Five.
