One of the sweetest, most tender movies I've seen in the last few years, is this wonderful movie, "Lars and the Real Girl". It's about a young man named Lars, who is shall we say, socially challenged. It's so bad that he's barely able to carry on a conversation with anyone. One day he orders an anatomically correct doll (yes, it's a sex doll), and so begins the delusion that the doll is his new girlfriend Bianca.
Don't let the above scenario fool you into thinking this is going to be anything inappropriate. It is in fact a thoroughly decent film. It's a movie about how to embrace and love someone in spite of their faults and challenges, and how through love and acceptance from his family and community, Lars is eventually able to come out of his shell.
