Although his family fears the worst when Lars brings home a life-sized companion doll who he thinks is a real girlfriend, named Bianca, a doctor encourages them to play along with him so that he can work through his delusions. The whole community rallies to his support, and Lars begins to deal with all of his emotions. He even begins to develop feelings for Margo, an attractive co-worker, in what becomes "a hilariously unique love triangle."

Quotes
Add a QuoteReverend Bock: Lars asked us not to wear black today. He did so to remind us that this is no ordinary funeral. We are here to celebrate Bianca's extraordinary life. From her wheelchair, Bianca reached out and touched us all, in ways we could never have imagined. She was a teacher. She was a lesson in courage. And Bianca loved us all. Especially Lars. Especially him.

Add a CommentVery Entertaining, sad, funny, and touching.
Unusual plot. Touching and deep. Ryan Gosling really is amazing!
A wonderful comedy with a sensitive undertone. Ryan Gosling plays a young man whose difficulty with relating to people takes on an interesting twist. How those around him help is a message we all could learn from. Paul Schneider does a wonderful job in the role of the brother. One of Ryan Gosling's best roles.
Well scripted, and acted, unique love story. Not my kind of movie, but I recognize that it was well done and original. Moves along at a decent pace toward a satisfying conclusion. Emotional at times, with enough timely comedy to lighten the tone and subject matter.
Ryan Gosling and the cast are awesome. This is the best movie ever!!!
Very entertaining and deep at the same time. Especially like the compassion of Patricia Clarkson as the counsellor. An excellent movie.
Sad, funny and sweet. Ryan Gosling was wonderful in this movie.
Unlike anything I've seen before, but nothing I'd want to see again. I found it strange, and slow.
perhaps a dig on tatoo women slayers and such otherwise "deer in the headlights what the F"
I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from this movie. As the plot makes it sound absolutely terrible, but I gave it a chance and it worked out, for a change. People will probably either love this movie or hate it, I don't see there being much of a middle ground. The acting is good, and this movie is well scripted I would highly recommend not missing this one.
