Based on the recommendation of another blogger I follow and my own curiosity, we rented the movie "Lars and the Real Girl" last night. The premise is a bit off-putting - a lonely, socially awkward man buys a "doll" on the Internet and parades her around town as his girlfriend. The real plot of the movie isn't about the guy and his doll (this film is sweet and wholesome, not raunchy at all - in fact the "church" itself is a character in the film), but it's about how a community comes together to support a person in crisis. It's definitely a quiet, independent film, but it's uplifting and happy in a "Little Miss Sunshine" kind of way. The script is innovative and tender and definitely a must-see! Check out the trailer on youtube and just see if you can stay away!
