"Pretend that she's real? I'm just not gonna do it."
"It's not really a choice."
"Okay. Okay, all right, we'll do it, whatever it takes. But everyone's gonna laugh at him."
"And you."
Review: This is a small town movie about a extremely shy young man who lives with his brother and sister-in-law. When he purchases a Real Doll and introduces it as his penpal girlfriend from Brazil, they decide to play along when they realize it is enabling him to open up more. Most of the effective comedy comes from watching the townfolks reactions, but the film is also an excellent character study.
"It's such a comfort sometimes, just to have somebody's arms around you. Don't you think?"
"No."
"It feels good."
"It does not feel good. It, it hurts."
"Oh, like a cut, or bruise?"
"Like a burn. Like when you go outside and your feet freeze and you come back in and then they thaw out? It's like that. It's almost exactly like that."
"Same with everyone?"
"Uh, not really with Bianca. But everyone else."
"Um, is there something I should be doing right now?"
"No, dear. You eat."
"We came over to sit."
"That's what people do when tragedy strikes."
"They come over, and sit."
4 out of 5 Stars
