Lars and the real girl is a movie starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Mortimer. The film is beautifully acted and the story focuses on the characters. The main character played by Gosling is a sweet young man who lost his mother when he was a baby. To supplement the love from his mother, he becomes delusional and believes that a mail order sex doll is his new girlfriend. The story sounds ridiculous, but it works because of the acting. The character is so sweet and the whole town loves him. The scene he first introduces his new girlfriend to his brother and is wife is a classic. The film is touching and deep. It’s funny and it’s got heart. Thumbs up way up for this movie.
