    Dan in Real Life was a fun film, but there Hedges' famous 'quirky' quality seemed lacking, that was clearly obvious in Pieces of April and Gilbert Grape. I suspect the negative reviews on RT are reflecting this aspect of his work regarding Timothy Green.

    I definitely want to see it, but I'm also preparing myself to not expect a typical Hedges offering.

    My major objection was that the ending was telegraphed before the movie was even half over.
