Lars and the Real Girl

I get emotional just thinking about this delightful film that takes us on a wondrous journey that is funny, overtly moving and uplifting. The film is at once entertaining, heartwarming and thought provoking, hard to label and impossible to simplify - but really easy to enjoy. ... Full Review
