Sweet, sad and funny...an entertaining fable about the phenomenon of socially crippled singles. [Blu-ray]

Overall, an imperfect gem. In its successful attempt to go for the heart, "Lars and the Real Girl" stumbles a bit. I would have cast Michael Cera in the lead role.

A delusional but sweet psychological drama about a young man treated for a bizarre delusional disorder with unconditional love.

For a premise with such lurid possibilities, Lars and the Real Girl is actually a sweet little comedy of romantic delusion and communal affection...

Nancy Oliver's sincere, graceful script about working through grief with the help of tolerance and patience deftly avoids introducing artificial drama. And, as Lars, the reliably terrific Ryan Gosling gives a warm, earnest performance.

Lars and the Real Girl remains suspended somewhere between perversity and pap, with only Gosling hinting at the mingling that might have been.

Lars And The Real Girl is a film without compare, about as far removed from conventional comedy as it's possible to be.

While the film pulls a few punches, its off-kilter sweetness is as inoffensive and likable as a tepid cup of cocoa.

A sweet little fable about how a delusional man-child is helped by the loving ministrations of his family and community, the kind of throwback flick where human nature is seen as inherently good -- a notion so quaint that it feels damn near buoyant.

Initially sounds perverted but ends up being just the opposite.

...we're surprised to find that it's possible to feel a real emotional attachment to an anatomically correct girl made of quality plastic.

Under Mr. Gillespie's admirably directed seriousness of tone, the performers, particularly Mr. Gosling, Ms. Mortimer, Mr. Schneider, Ms. Clarkson, Ms. Gardner and Mr. Reid, never miss a beat.
