In the tradition of Simon & Garfunkel's The Graduate and Cat Stevens' music for Harold and Maude, Sondre Lerche's Dan in Real Life finds the Norwegian sensation lending his coy, almost precious, touch to this movie's soundtrack. Several tracks are plucked from Lerche's back catalogue, including "Modern Nature" (2002's Faces Down), the Elvis Costello-penned "Human Hands" (2006's Duper Sessions), and "Airport Taxi Reception" (2007's Phantom Punch). These and the seven instrumental cue tracks form the matrix surrounding the four originals, among them a smarmy, beautiful duet with Regina Spektor, whose dulcet voice plays ideal foil to Lerche's own. "I'll Be OK" mimics the aw-shucks charisma of every character lead actor Steve Carell plays, offering inspired proof of director Peter Hedges' wisdom in handing the project to Lerche. Elsewhere, a string-heavy cover of Pete Townshend's seminal "Let My Love Open the Door" provides a memorable highlight. Hedges postulates in the liner notes that perhaps the film was made "so more of the world can hear [Lerche's] music," and certainly, this album provides an enticing vehicle for newcomers to his wavering vibrato, saccharine falsetto, and all too genteel songwriting, though existing Lerche fans may lament the relative shortage of new material here. --Jason Kirk

 Love the artist! October 2, 2008
I enjoyed the music in the movie and really love this CD and the artist's style. Lots of acoustical guitar and violin along with great vocals make this relaxing and enjoyable.
really great feel good sound track September 17, 2008
this is a great album. There was only one song on it that I didn't appreciate (and I don't think it was included in the movie). I think it says the word "damn" in it which I don't appreciate. Other than that Lerche is an amazing musician definately worth buying.

 Dan in Real Life June 26, 2008
This CD is catchy and fun with great music. Sondre Lerche is so good, I had to buy other CD's of his.
Addicted June 18, 2008
I can't get enough of this CD. I let it play over and over in my car, which I don't usually do with other CDs. Sondre Lerche is very talented and has a way of getting you singing along, even with the instrumental songs. I highly recommend this one.
