3. Lars and the Real Girl

(2007)

Ryan Gosling may have been the heartthrob of the tragic romance The Notebook, but he would go on to become the strange man who falls in love with a real doll in Lars and the Real Girl. Gosling plays Lars, a mustached man that is so lonely in his small-town Wisconsin community. He orders himself a real doll and parades his artificial bride around town as the latest citizen, dubbed Bianca. Such a plot seems as though it’d be the perfect setup for a raunchy comedy, but it’s a relationship that’s portrayed as sweet and touching for a man that befriends a doll intended for little more than solo sex.
