Day 21 this blog is officially an adult and today we watched Lars and the Real Girl. This movie centers around Lars (go figure) who is really shy. Shy is an understatement, he's got some issues with physical contact and generally just stays away from everyone. He lives in his brother's garage and goes straight there after work. In an apparent method to deal with this he orders a real doll. He then woos this doll and they have a wonderful relationship. It is a bit quirky, but that's a-ok. I really liked how everyone helped him along, and treated his real doll as a person. There's actually no one being a douche and making fun of him to his face or doing anything mean, which I completely expected to happen. Even though this guy feels all alone, he really has the small town he lives in looking out for him. Parts are funny, but not haha funny. It didn't seem to drag or be overly sappy or anything. An interesting love story, one that a guy should be able to watch and not feel uncomfortable for doing so.
This gets 4 fake flowers out of 5.
