I love drama, comedy, Craig Gillespie, Ryan Gosling but WTF...

It may sound a bit cliché, but I think this is a great example of the kind of movie you either love it or hate it; there's not much in-between. I'm among those who love it but I can easily where others might not.

Granted, the premise is quite unrealistic. I'm no psychologist, but I would think that advising the townspeople to go along with Lars' delusion would not be a wise way to deal with it. And a girl like Margo would probably be grossed out at how weird Lars' problem was and would not have the patience to wait for him to get over it. If as a viewer you can't buy into the basic premise, then there's no way you'll ever like it.

But I think nearly anyone who likes the movie would grant you that it's pretty unreal. You just have to get into a frame of mind where you take it as sort of a fable, like a fairy tale. If you can do that, then it becomes a genuinely touching movie.

You don't like the movie. Fine. But some of your complaints are ridiculous. Your bitching about the "Instagram" coloring and pleading for Instagram to not become part of the movie world, for one. This movie was made years before Instagram existed. Regardless of your opinion of the movie you're obviously at least somewhat stupid to make such a comment.

I doubt you're taking crazy pills--you just don't like the movie and you seem to be SO upset by it that you want the world to know. We know. Thanks for sharing.


"The cover of this book is so misleading. It never snows like the cover implies that it does."

Yes it's bad, even as a boring comedy. I take it www.realdoll.com has been trying to get their brand out there or better known.
