Carell's 'Dan' proves unexciting
By DANNY DJELJOSEVIC | Nov. 28, 2007There is a scene in "Dan in Real Life" where one of Steve Carell's character's shrill, insufferable daughters ("She sounds like a tea kettle," to quote an earlier, better Carell movie) is pleading emotionally with him to let her boyfriend stay over. Once she uses the word "love," Carell suddenly laughs uncontrollably at his daughter's naïve stupidity. Not only is it the only genuinely funny scene in the film, but his line also accurately depicts how I felt watching "Dan in Real Life": "You've got to be kidding me."

Groups offer no apology for fliers
By UF Law School Republicans | Nov. 27, 2007We co-sponsored the showing of the movie "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," and our organizations' names appeared on the fliers promoting the documentary to which Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Telles-Irvin, on behalf of the UF administration, responded.
