Lars (Ryan Gosling) is an extreme introvert. Despite his sister-in-law, Karen's attempts to bring him out of his shell and make him feel part of the family, he continues to ostracize himself from them and would be friends. One day to the surprise of Karen and his brother, Gus, Lars announces that he has a guest, a girl from Brazil, named Bianca. His family is only too thrilled to meet his new friend only to find out that she is a life size doll. After consulting their doctor, his family, along with the entire town decide to go along with this delusion.
If you appreciate independent film you will enjoy this movie and it's over all "Sundance feel." Although slowly paced the movie is fun and humorous without being campy. The entire town seems to grow from this experience and although totally over-the-top, is remarkably sweet.
A Must See*** 1/2
Rated PG-13 (most likely because of what the doll is suppose to be used for)

I saw this again and must say that the details make this movie even funnier a second time around.
