On Friday night, I saw Lars and the Real Girl because of Cheryl Fletcher's recommendation. She lives in L.A. now so her movie recommendations are that much cooler. I definitely recommend the movie. At first it looks really weird and it will make you squirm a little bit with some painfully awkward moments. But it truly gets to the need for community and the power of community. The messiness in Lars' life is pretty out there, but it reminds us that living in community involves loving each other despite the messiness. The ultimate message of the movie is pretty redemptive. And it is playing at Alamo Draft House, which is definitely the coolest place to watch a film here in Austin.
