Title: Not for the realdoll enthusiast...otherwise, a good movie.
Review: Being a realdoll enthusiast I naturally expected to enjoy this movie, but I ended the film with mixed feelings. While it was touching and funny, especially in the beginning, I was turned off by the fact that Lars eventually buries the doll (a $5000 virgin doll, buried forever! he should have sold it on eBay!). But that's just my bias - I like dolls a LOT.If you think realdolls are awesome, this isn't your movie. BUT - if you find realdoll relationships creepy like most people, you'll identify with Lars and feel happy for him when he moves on with his life. This film has some hilariously awkward moments, but it is definitely not a comedy. The bulk of the humor and novelty is in the first half. As the movie progresses, takes a much more serious, psychological tone which, IMO, drags on a bit.Ryan Gosling's acting was excellent.
