I give up. There's just so much wrong with this movie that I can't even get properly angry. It just slips back under the skin and rots.
First of all, the movie is not believable while it's still having a serious tone all the time (or at least being very tame compared to what one could joke about a sex toy, an object to masturbate with). The world doesn't work that way at all. After the first few seconds they realize the situation with Lars, no single character thinks - even though the main idea behind the movie states exactly - it's not very normal to date a sex toy.
Secondly, it's sort of unnerving people don't realize at all how potentially destructive it could be that downplaying mental illness and making it a quirk of personality and whatnot. Yes, it's only a movie but it is really depressing to read comments that applaud the movie's way not judging Lars as someone with a real problem. Guess what? Forrest Gump wouldn't been too successful in real world, either.
Thirdly, why is this considered great? I seriously want to punch everyone in the face that liked the movie. It's just incredible.
The movie was well made but generally, it was about as useful as a deflated sex doll. Or even worse, it's like a sex doll with no openings. It simply lacks any real content outside the main idea, good-ish acting and dialogue. It's almost like the authors thought making an adult movie about the subject is that you first write American Pie, remove all the gross-out stuff and don't hire Adam Sandler.
I hate this movie, I hate the people who made it and I hate myself for watching it.
