Movie Critic - Lars and The Real Girl



I went to go visit Matthew for his lunch one day and we went into Blockbuster to rent The Scarlet Letter. We rented that and we saw that Blockbuster was having a buy 3 for $20. We always act on these offers, so got about 9 movies. Good Luck Chuck (Dane Cook and Jessica Alba), The Heartbreak Kid (Ben Stiller), In the Name of the King (Jason Statham aka Transporter), Lars and The Real Girl (Ryan Gosling), License to Wed (Mandy Moore, John Krasinski, Robin Williams), Semi-Pro (Will Farrell), The Spiderwick Chronicles (no one really famous), Sydney White (Amanda Bynes), 3:10 to Yuma (Christian Bale and Russell Crow). Yeah we got a lot! The only two we had already seen were License to Wed and 3:10 to Yuma, so we saved to watch those movies last. Out of all the movies the one's that stuck out the most were In the name of the king, Sydney White, and Lars and The Real Girl. Out of those three, to our surprise the best one was Lars and The Real Girl. It looks so stupid but its really cute and funny. Ryan Gosling plays a unusual character and he seems to be a shy guy when it comes to this one live girl. It's funny because it's a small town and Lars (Ryan Gosling) sends for this doll like girl who is really ment for sexual purposes haha but he treats her like she is really alive. The whole town is very supportive and actually ask's Lars if she would like to participate in the town's volunteer activities haha. It's not a Batman Dark Night, but it's a good movie. Oh yeah, the worst movie was Semi-Pro! It was really dumb!

  1. I wanted to see Lars and the Real Girl...good to hear it's worth seeing! And I love Sydney White! I bought it before I had seen it (for $3 on Amazon plus shipping) because I love Amanda Bynes, and I ended up loving it! I've seen it almost 10 times now.
