Lars and the Real Girl Review by Chris Kaatz

Lars and the Real Girl was directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Nancy Oliver. This movie could be viewed by an audience consisting of any age, however the younger the audience is, the harder it would be for them to understand what is happening.
The basic plot of the story is that a man named Lars has gone a little crazy. For the longest time, he isolated himself in his house, and then he bought a sex doll so that he would have a companion. He never used her for sex purposes, but he did talk to her. Lars treats the doll as if she was a real person, and it forces the rest of the town to do the same.
This movie teaches an interesting lesson in acceptance. Everyone is different, but everyone shares the need to be accepted. God wants us to accept each other. His plan for us was that we would love each other and be kind towards one another. In this movie, Lars is the social outcast. He is not accepted by others that quickly, but everyone learns how to deal with him. The town becomes really obsessed with helping Lars with his problem. They even start accepting Bianca, the doll, as a real person. We should always be accepting of each other no matter who they are or what they are going through.
