Movie Reviews (DVD Rentals)

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.”
