Lars and the Real Girl
Director: Craig Gillespie
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner, Patricia Clarkson
Summary: A love story of a boy and the people in his town. Oh, with a little blow-up doll on the side, too.
→ Yay
+ The director, the cast, and everybody else involved. With a story of a man falling in love with a blow-up doll, the movie could’ve veered into sex comedy or whathaveyou territory. Instead, the movie was sweet, funny, sad, and touching.
+ Ryan Gosling as Lars. So I’ve only seen him in The Notebook and I can’t even remember his performance anymore. He is awesome in this one. Wow, just wow.
+ I thought the pacing of the story was neither too fast that it rushed the whole story or too slow that it made it boring and a drag to watch.
+ The town’s interaction with Lars and his doll of a girlfriend (literally, haha). It’s funny watching them interact with a doll as if it’s a real person but also touching because they were all doing it for Lars.
→ Nay
- Honestly, I couldn’t find anything I didn’t like. ^^;;
