Indie DVD Pick of the Week: Lars and the Real Girl

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL
came out on DVD last week, but I just watched it and thought i needed to include it this week. Ryan Gosling shows his incredible versatility as Lars, a twnety-something lonely man who (because of a disillousion) walks around with his knew girl friend -- a brazillian sex doll named Bianca. The whole town, though, goes along with it. Emily Mortimer stars as his sister in law who tries to help him out and Patricia Clarkson is his psycologist. Its really suprisingly funny and very touching. Highly Recommended.
