LARS AND THE REAL GIRL (RYAN GOSLING, EMILY MORTIMER;2007)


RYAN GOSLING PLAYS A GENIUS IN THIS ADORABLE DRAMEDY. CRAZY, AND SELF-ISOLATING FOR MONTHS, GOSLING'S CHARACTER, LARS, GIVES IN A BOFFS A PLASTIC DOLL HE ORDERED ONLINE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TOWN PITIES HIM, HE DOESN'T STOP THERE. HE ACTUALLY PARADES THIS "HARD" BODY AROUND TOWN AS HIS GIRLFRIEND. HE BRINGS HER TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, HIS BROTHER'S HOUSE, CHURCH AND TO HIS FAVORITE LAKE. THE TOWN PLAYS ALONG WITH HIM BECAUSE THEY THINK HE'S DELUSIONAL. I WILL WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN BECAUSE I THINK HE'S BRILLIANT. LARS MANAGES TO CONVINCE AN ENTIRE TOWN IT'S O.K. TO DATE A PLASTIC, LIFE-SIZED DOLL-SLUT. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONCEIVE A WAY TO DO THIS FOR YEARS. FIRST I KEPT HER IN MY BATHTUB, THEN I DRUNKENLY TOOK HER TO THE BAR (AS A "JOKE"), AND FINALLY, I TRULY "BROUGHT HER OUT" AT A DEBUTANTE BALL. THE LAST STEP WAS A LITTLE TRICKY AND FAILED. IT GOT WEIRD. FOR OTHERS. EVENTUALLY WE GOT CAUGHT IN THE H.O.V. LANE. APPARENTLY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN THE "CARPOOL" LANE WITH PLASTIC, OR INFLATABLE DOLLS TO FOOL THE TRAFFIC POLICE. NATURALLY THIS WASN'T OUR PROBLEM. JAMME (PRONOUNCED "JAMIE") WAS VERY REAL. HOWEVER, THE COPS FOUND COCAINE ON HER AND SHE BLEW A NOTHING. WHICH IS A APPARENTLY RARE. I EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE ARRESTING OFFICERS AND TOLD THEM TO BRING HER IN. THEY JUST SLOWLY BACKED AWAY AND DREW THEIR WEAPONS. ANYWAY, THE ROMANCE DIED THAT NIGHT. PLUS, I HEARD SHE TALKED TO THE COPS. AND WE ALWAYS AGREED SHE WOULDN'T TALK. IT WAS THIS BEST PART OF OUR RELATIONSHIP......I MOVED ON BUT AFTER SEEING THIS MOVIE I'M WILLING TO OPEN-UP AGAIN. I RECOMMEND YOU RENT THIS TODAY. -TMJ.
