Lars and the Real Girl
Totally NOT what I was expecting. What I was expecting– a light-hearted comedy. What I received– a movie about a delusional young man (Lars) who had a “real” relationship with a blow-up doll (Bianca). And, if that wasn’t screwy enough, the whole town played along w/Lars and pretended that Bianca was REAL.
Sure, parts were funny– but the majority of the film was sad… and a little pathetic. What shined in this movie was the LOVE that Lars’s family/friends had for Lars– ultimately resulting in Lars giving up the fantasy of Bianca (and walking off in the sunshine with a REAL LIVE GIRL)…
This movie was: (-) infidelity; (-) puking.
Contessa says, “Skip the movie, read a book… any book.”
27 Dresses
This is one of those “princess/fairytale stories” where the girl gets the guy and they live happily ever after.
Personally, I didn’t think the two main characters (Catherine Heigl/James Marsden) made a cute couple. He was a little too “thin, whispy” for her… given her height. As to the story, not very original.
Best thing about the movie?– Benny and the Jets.
This movie was: (-) puking; (-) infidelity.
Contessa says, “Rent it if you need to believe in fairytale endings.”
