Lars And The Real Girl (2007)
What It’s About: When a shy introvert (Ryan Gosling) falls for a mail-order sex doll, his brother (Paul Schneider) and sister-in-law (Emily Mortimer) struggle to support his new “relationship.”
Why It’s A Good Rom-Com: While the “romance” in Lars and the Real Girl is certainly unconventional, the quirky, Oscar-nominated screenplay provides a touching, in-depth look at the delusions that manifest from loneliness, including those that distract one from realizing they were never really alone in the first place.
