Has anyone seen the movie "Lars and the real girl" .. quite amazing

[auntAgonist]

really.

On so many levels this is such a good movie.
------------
The independent film 'Lars and the Real Girl' is just that. It's promoted as a comedy about a guy who's in love with a sex doll, yet the film is the type everyone should see and you can even consider taking your kids. (It's rated PG-13)

Lars (Ryan Gosling) is an introvert, who holds an office job and lives in a northern mid-west town. His pad is a modified garage next to his deceased parents' home. His brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and pregnant, caring sister-in-law, Karin (Emily Mortimer) live in the large house on the property.

One day Lars meets a friend (the doll) on the internet and has her shipped to his home. Being the gentleman that he is, Lars asks Gus and Karin if his quest can stay in the main house until they get to know each other better. This sets off a chain of events that involve the local doctor, minister, his co-workers and ultimately, the entire town.

3. I enjoyed it

I must admit that before seeing it, I was skeptical about how they would pull the basic premise off with a high enough degree of humor and storytelling that I could enjoy 1.5 hours of it.

But they did. Suffice it to say, the "basic premise" you get from the movie jacket is not really the basic premise of the film.

4. hmm, yes it sounds very interesting

not sure I would want my 12 year old to see it, though.

Or is it more gentle in spirit than salacious? ;)

5. rated pg13, very gentle not at all salacious.

Your 12 year old (I think) would enjoy it.

I thought it was a really sweet movie, and it suited my mood perfectly at the time. I liked it much more than I thought I would.
