Title: Unexpectedly Effective
Review: I can't remember a film I was as reluctant to see as this one. Its trailers seemed particularly unpromising... a comedy about a man and his inflatable girlfriend? Ick.Obviously, I was wrong. First, the doll isn't inflatable. Second, the story is outrageously sweet and affecting. I should point out that at some stage in this movie, I made a choice to view the story as allegorical. Otherwise, the notion of an entire town "playing along" with one man's delusion was just too unrealistic.But by disconnecting my need for everything to make sense, I was rewarded with a funny, touching, and even brave film unlike anything I've ever seen before.
Is the review positive or negative?
