Lars and the Real Girl
Lars Lindstrom is a peculiar and painfully shy young man who becomes involved in an unconventional relationship with a new girlfriend, Bianca, who he says he met on the internet. It is a charming and touching story about a dysfunctional man who has the love and support of an entire community. Oh, did I mention that in this strange little comedy, the girlfriend is an anatomically-correct sex doll. Yes, it is kind of weird. You’ll either love it or hate it. Ryan Gosling in excellent as the delusional one and is surrounded by a good cast of supporting characters. Everyone plays it straight up and you can help but laugh when you see Bianca in the middle of these everyday situations. If you are looking for something different and quirky, this movie might be right for you. Alien found it better than he anticipated.
Alien gives it 3 “my girlfriend is a real doll” stars out of 4.
