I saw Dan in Real Life this weekend. I was expecting to see Steve Carrell as an endearing guy who falls in love at the most inopportune moment--which I did--but I didn't expect to be entertained the most by his middle daughter, Cara, played by newcomer Brittany Robertson. Her depiction of an over-exaggerating, passionately in love teenager who can blow the smallest things out of proportion was beyond hilarious. I just kept thinking, "Did I ever do that?" Probably. But it was very possible that she could've driven that character in a campy direction that would've seemed fake and forced. Robertson, however, was so genuine in her intentions that she actually became a role model for her dad's love life. As long as the 17-year-old keeps up a path of legitimate roles, maybe we'll see her more prominently in the future.
