Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
merelyaninnuendo Lars And The Real GirlThere have been quite a few features like such, that pitched similar concept to it and has touched viewer's heart through their non-human but equally up beating characters and this is one of them. The writing is gripping if not smart, keeping the audience engaged through its pragmatic characters that is fueled by the emotions running among them on screen and the makers being aware of it pampers the audience throughout the course of it. It is short on technical terms like sound department but is immensely pleasing on the way it is shot; the camera work is stunning, and so is costume design. Nancy Oliver's emotionally driven script is not only supported but celebrated by Craig Gillespie; the director, whose brilliant execution skills up the ante of the game. Ryan Gosling is the real game changer of the feature as it pulsates his skills on a much larger scale and flaunts it shamelessly and sweeps away most of the charm where he is supported decently by a hungry cast (Emily Mortimer and Paul Schneider) whose work is appreciative in here. Lars And The Real Girl is an authentic and heartbreaking relationship of humans surviving in a society where the softer and sweeter aspects of it is explored and encouraged in here.
AlmostSasha This will be one of those movies i will always think of on a daily bases. This movie opened my eyes and learned about a new mental illness that was about depression and anxiety. This movie shows that there are so many different forms of mental illnesses. A heart warming movie about acceptance and growing and over coming.
sw_florida It is a low budget movie and I feel it originated from the idea of doing something strange for the hell of it. With more research and more seriousness to the approach, this could have been done so much better. But I think the attempt deserves respect anyway. I like odd movies if they have some truth to them, and this one does.If you keep the preconception that it is not meant to be funny, you will enjoy the movie more. It's not fair or right to laugh about an ill person, is it? Where the movie becomes silly and funny, that is where the movie fails.
water_boy1993 Actually, I have to say that the sounds effect,the cinematography and also the editing is not extremely great, but the plot and the actors & actress are really really good, especially the sister-in-law of the main character. I really love the scene in which that sister-in-law yell at Lars and told him how everybody cares about him. It's really emotional and touches our heart. Some.. oh no, all the characters in this movie is so damn cute which makes it.. unreal. It seems like all the best people in the world get around Lars.. In general, I really love the plot! Such a nice plot which we could hardly guess the ending. The movie has many funny scenes which also makes us thinking a lot.
