Recommended DVD.
Last night I went to friend's house (Larry & Anne's) and along with a few friends had movie night. After feasting on more food that I should had, Larry started the movie - Lars and the Real Girl. I'd never heard of this movie till I was invited to come over and watch it. It was hilarious in that off-beat way I love. Pick it up the next time your in the rental store.
Two reviews of this film follow:
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times observed, "The film ... wisely never goes for even one moment that could be interpreted as smutty or mocking ... There are so many ways [it] could have gone wrong that one of the film's fascinations is how adroitly it sidesteps them. Its weapon is absolute sincerity ... It has a kind of purity to it."
Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle called the film "a gentle comedy, offbeat but never cute, never lewd and never going for shortcut laughs that might diminish character."
