Paige and I rented a great little movie Friday night
named “Lars and the Real Girl’. By the way, I am
really enjoying the fact that you can rent movies
from within Apple TV now. It is so convienent. Paige
and I sit down on my couch, we watch a couple
trailers to figure out what movie we are interested
in, then I rent it. After about 5 - 10 seconds enough
is buffered from the download that we can start
watching the movie. We’ve rented about 5 movies so
far, and every one has worked without a hitch.
‘Lars and the Real Girl’, revolves around the main character, Lars, his brother, Gus, and his brother’s wife, Karin. Lars is an extremely shy man. He lives in the garage of the house that he and his brother inherited after the passing of their father. Their mother died giving birth to Lars. Lars purchases a sex doll online and introduces it to Gus and Karin and his new girlfriend, Bianca. Gus and Karin make an appointment for Bianca to see the doctor, which of course is a way to get Lars to the doctor. The doctor notes that Lars doesn’t have any physical problems, and doesn’t seem to be a threat to anyone, so this must be a delusion, which is a sign that he is working through some sort or personal issues, and everyone should play along. The entire town plays along, inviting them to parties, church, giving Bianca a job, etc.
Paige and I both enjoyed the movie very much. It looked like more of a comedy in the trailer than it actually was, but that was ok, because the story and acting were great. I recommend it.
