The American Basketball Association is on the verge of collapse, and
when a former NBA benchwarmer returns to his hometown of Flint, MI, to
whip his former team into shape for the playoffs, redemption is just a
free throw away in this period sports comedy starring Will Ferrell and
Woody Harrelson. Penned by Old School scribe Scot Armstrong, Semi-Pro
tells the tale of a 1970s-era basketball player who doesn't have much
luck in the NBA, but vows to leave his mark on the sport by coaching
the Flint Tropics. When the upstart ABA league agrees to be absorbed by
the NBA, only four teams will be allowed in. Jackie Moon (Ferrell) must
orchestrate a successful season both on the court, and financially off
the court with the help of many odd promotional events, in order to
remain in the sport he loves.

Lars (Ryan Gosling) and Gus (Paul Schneider) are the grown children of a father who died recently and a mother who died giving birth to Lars. But as brothers, they couldn't be more different. While Gus lives in the family home and has a loving wife (Emily Mortimer) and a child on the way, Lars leads a more reclusive existence in the family's garage, hiding in plain sight of his small, wintry hometown. Painfully shy and eccentric, Lars fails to recognize that his co-worker Margo (Kelli Garner) has a major crush on him, and he picks up on a casual reference made by his cubicle mate, who mentions a website where you can order life-sized, anatomically correct sex dolls. But instead of seeing a sex object, Lars sees in this doll a potential life partner and the only kind of social "peer" he can relate to. So Lars orders a doll, whom he names Bianca, and begins treating her with utmost gentlemanly respect -- and as though she's his real-life, flesh-and-blood girlfriend. As he begins bringing Bianca with him everywhere he goes, the townspeople have to find just the right balance between supporting Lars' unusual romance and trying to introduce him to a more conventional partner. Lars and the Real Girl was written by Six Feet Under scribe Nancy Oliver and directed by Mr. Woodcock's Craig Gillespie. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide
