Lars and the Real Girl (2006)

Director: Craig Gillespie (Mr. Woodcock, "United States of Tara" [I haven't seen either and haven't really heard anything about either)
Stars: Ryan Gosling (Murder by Numbers [which was alright], The Notebook)
Paul Schneider (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Live Free or Die)
YesNoSoso: 2

This was a pleasant surprise. I put Lars and the Real Girl on my Blockbuster queue because I was intrigued by the concept, but expected the movie to be light on substance. It was actually an extremely warm and well executed film. Nothing special, but solid performances all around and a genuinely good feel. I had no idea Ryan Gosling could actually act.
