Eduardo M Surprisingly a very good movie about mental health and how a community can work together (to mobilize) and get past their own preconception about what is normal in order to help a person - a pleasant sense of community seen on the screen but not very often lived outside it. I am feel sorry for the adult audience that will not be able to do the same as the adults on the movie did - get past their preconception, focusing not on the fact that the doll plays an important role for the storytelling but in the empathetic message of the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Early W It is a bitter sweet tale of a man with severe social anxiety; he's delusional and has a fear of physical contact. I didn't find it funny as much as sad because of the reality that there are many men out there just like Lars. Gosling, who is often cast as a heart throb leading man, plays the socially inept Lars as if he has been doing it all his life. It is quirky at times and you can't help but feel the awkwardness in the room when Lars wheels in Bianca or the scene cuts to them sitting together at a party or church sermon. Yet, I think the film plays these moments off well without letting the cringe ramp up to unbearable levels. By the end you get a sense of satisfaction knowing that Lars has a lot of people in his life who care deeply for him, and he finally starts to realize this. Great acting, great script and direction. Definitely check it out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Michael V The search for true love begins outside the box. Lars and the Real Girl is a 2007 American comedy-drama film written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie 👧🏼 Not bad, but not my favourite either 😐 Meh, it passed the time. Just. 😐 👍🏼👎🏼 Extremely shy Lars finds it impossible to make friends or socialize. His brother and sister-in-law worry about him, so when he announces that he has a girlfriend he met on the Internet, they are overjoyed. But Lars' new lady is a life-size plastic woman. On the advice of a doctor, his family and the rest of the community go along with his delusion. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Gerardo V FUNNY BUT SINCERE COMEDY. The consensus RT put out matches it perfectly. could've been the usual 2000s lowball comedy, but instead they actually tell a story that interesting and at times sad, it reminds us that in reality, there are many people just like Lars. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Thomas G My wife made me pick a romance for us to see - so I chose this movie. It was a beautifully done movie☺️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Jerod S Gosling is a talented guy - playing an incredible socially awkward guy that lives in the garage with a fake doll. It's gooey center is that his family and town love him - and he finds some sanity. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
