Oh my goodness. I LOVED this movie! It is so sweet and quirky and inspiring. Lars is a diagnosably shy 27 year old who orders a life-size, anatomically correct doll whom he names Bianca. She is a "missionary" from Brazil with an illness that requires her to be in a wheelchair during waking hours! Lars' family and the whole town respond with love and goodwill toward Bianca, welcoming her and making her feel at home. Underneath it all is the story of Lars' childhood and healing.
I watched the film with five men and one woman. Everyone enjoyed it (or at least said they did) but none of the men said they would watch it again! I definitely would. We are purchasing it for the library and it will probably gain a place in the "What's Love Got to Do with It?" film series.
