‘Dan in Real Life’ giveaway

Saturday, March 15th, 2008 | 231 comments

Okay Tallyheads, this is not exactly Office-related, but I’ve got two “Dan in Real Life” DVDs (SRP $29.99) to give away!

I thought the movie was very sweet, and that Steve Carell made a great Everyman romantic lead. My favorite DVD extras were, of course, the outtakes (the first thing I ever go to on any DVD) and “the making of” featurette, which brought a tear to my eye.

Here’s a video clip from the film —
I call it Pancake Rage.

   I think he would have fun with the kids,but would make alot of mistakes in effective discipline

   A father who’s great when you’re a kid, and an embarrassment as a teen, and pitied as an adult.

   228. Kristen Hendricks  Sat. Mar. 29, 2008 | 2:51pm

   He would be a fun dad but also discipline his child when necessary since the child would make him responsible.

   Michael Scott would be a hilarious father…to watch. I’d just hate to be the mother who would have to fix all the messes he and the kid got into. :)

   I think he would be a little odd; definitely one of a kind!

   I would love to win this DVD Heard it was a good movie

   He’ll be terrible at it, just like he is as a boss. He’ll teach the kid bad words, bad manners and bad habits. Poor kid.

10. 
    222. Paula McClement  Fri. Mar. 28, 2008 | 5:07pm

    He would make a really great Dad, but I think he might let the kids get away with a little too much.

    221. philip halter  Fri. Mar. 28, 2008 | 4:26pm

    he will make it

12. 
    220. Molly  Fri. Mar. 28, 2008 | 2:13pm

    Michael Scott would try too hard and make many mistakes but love enough to make up for his bumbling ways.

13. 
    219. Bryant T  Fri. Mar. 28, 2008 | 8:32am

    Michael Scott would be a kind-hearted father who would show his love through humor and many smiles.

    218. Kathy Conley  Fri. Mar. 28, 2008 | 6:36am

    200 word maximum!
    Michael would be an interesting father, but he would raise his children to be independent and creative thinkers.

    217. Kaytor  Thu. Mar. 27, 2008 | 8:37pm

    Michael’s “motivational parenting”: fun-tivities instead of playing catch, Dundies instead of birthday presents, and ketchup fights instead of … normal things.

16. 
    216. Pamela White  Thu. Mar. 27, 2008 | 6:32pm

    His heart is in the right place.

    215. Jennifer Regan  Wed. Mar. 26, 2008 | 8:34pm

    Oh good heavens…Michael Scott…I think he would be a father who has NO CLUE what his children are up to, but loves them very much. I think he’d play kid games, and be great at sound effects!

18. 
    214. Bridget  Wed. Mar. 26, 2008 | 3:11pm

    He would love the child, but he would make the kid take improv classes and live vicariously through him/her.

19. 
    213. Marcia Hickman  Wed. Mar. 26, 2008 | 11:30am

    Michael would be a totally goofy dad…as many dads are!

    212. Marcia Hickman  Wed. Mar. 26, 2008 | 11:29am

    Steve Carell is the funniest!
