The movie told of the life of Dan Burns. Widower with 3 lovely daughters. A hardworking father who worked very hard to provide for his girls. During one fateful annual family gather, he met a beautiful lady in the town's bookshop. Falling in love with her, without realising she is his brother's new girlfriend. The story is a little slow. Though the director tried to work in some subtle attraction and emotional issues for both the lead actor and actress, there is still the seemingly lack of chemistry between them both. I love Juliette Binoche and have watched a couple of her movies. But i have to say, she is rather bland in this movie.
This is one of those movies you can watch if you really have nothing else to do that day. I have to say Steve Carell is much more interesting in the movie "The 40 Years Old Virgin". I believe he has been rather stereotype by his acting skill. Wholesome and all goodie goodie angel storyline can at times make it boring.
Rating: 2 out of 5 fairy clouds.
