Editorial Reviews

Lars (Ryan Gosling) and Gus (Paul Schneider) are the grown children of a father who died recently and a mother who died giving birth to Lars. But as brothers, they couldn't be more different. While Gus lives in the family home and has a loving wife (Emily Mortimer) and a child on the way, Lars leads a more reclusive existence in the family's garage, hiding in plain sight of his small, wintry hometown. Painfully shy and eccentric, Lars fails to recognize that his co-worker Margo (Kelli Garner) has a major crush on him, and he picks up on a casual reference made by his cubicle mate, who mentions a website where you can order life-sized, anatomically correct sex dolls. But instead of seeing a sex object, Lars sees in this doll a potential life partner and the only kind of social "peer" he can relate to. So Lars orders a doll, whom he names Bianca, and begins treating her with utmost gentlemanly respect -- and as though she's his real-life, flesh-and-blood girlfriend. As he begins bringing Bianca with him everywhere he goes, the townspeople have to find just the right balance between supporting Lars' unusual romance and trying to introduce him to a more conventional partner. Lars and the Real Girl was written by Six Feet Under scribe Nancy Oliver and directed by Mr. Woodcock's Craig Gillespie. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

What a Refreshingly Different Comedy!by Edel

July 11, 2009: So much modern comedy is flat, slapstick and predictable. Lars and the Real Girl is now one of my all-time favorites! The story line is so imaginative, the characters so warm and funny and the acting superb. I've leant my copy to many friends and they usually rave about how great it was! If you liked Napoleon Dynamite, you'll love this movie!

Unexpected Treasureby NathalieLovett

July 07, 2009: This movie is not at all what I thought it was going to be. It was a heartwarming story of appearance vs. reality, love and loss, and the unfortunate result of corruption of innocence. Ryan Gosling gave an impressive performance, including subtle character traits that mirrored his character's internal affliction. Although the ending left me wanting more, it did leave a lasting hope for all who have had to overcome the piercing pain of their past.
