It seems like an almost impossibility for a movie with a plot like this to be sincere instead of creepy or sophomoric, but Lars and the Real Girl manages to walk that thin line pretty well most of the time. Sure, it requires a pretty huge suspension of disbelief by the viewer (A ...( read more)

Lars and the Real Girl was so far off the mark from what the trailer boasted that its almost criminal. Instead of the self-appreciating ball of quirk that the trailer promised, the film itself actually delivered one of the sweetest and most touching movies I've seen in a long tim...( read more)

I'll have to think more about this one. I was on board with it up until the ending, where the whole thing suddenly reeked of some warped version of Radio and it all moved quickly from sweet to preachy. Bianca is a great spacer between Lars and the audience - with her in the equat...( read more)

Lars And The Real Girl is a very touching story.

Ryan Gosling was absolutely amazing as Lar...( read more) -

Worth watching for Ryan's Gosling's sensitive portrayal of a delusional individual. Equally impressive supporting cast. Stands out in a crowd of repetitive movies and for its unique script.

Cute at first, it quickly becomes irritating to the point that I couldn't wait for it to be over. Gosling's tic-laden performance is laughably bad and the plot is so obvious and riddled with cliches I could see exactly what was going to happen within the first few minutes. Pop ps...( read more)

Amazing! Set in the cold north this is one of the warmest, most genuine and above all human films I have ever had the pleasure of watching. No dips, no flash, just real nice and caring people and a story that slowly unfolds at it's own pace. I was laughing a lot while watching, b...( read more)

Film satu ini dalem banget maknanya. Bagaimana kita bisa memberi "spirit" pada suatu benda. Buat orang-orang yang merasa kering jiwanya, ini film cocok deh kayaknya.

I just watched this film to see what one of those $10,000 real dolls would look like. For all those who are wondering, there aren't any action scenes between Lars and Bianca, if you know what I mean ;-). This could be a letdown for some, but the movie itself serves a comedic ye...( read more)

A sweet and charming little movie with a great performance by Ryan Gosling. This premise could have gone in a million different directions, some of them slapstick and outrageous, and some of them could have been quite disturbing. This one chooses the sweet and sensitive route, an...( read more)
