Lars and the Real Girl
Screenwriter Nancy Oliver
has written a classic. In my estimation, Lars and the Real Girl is more poignant than "Its a Wonderful Life" and as winsome as "Harvey."
The 11/3 audience in Palo Alto was overwhelmingly adult, owing to the Saturday night showtime (and the paucity of things to do in Palo Alto - ahem). However, the themes are appropriate for all ages. Definitely a keeper, and a sign to look for more from Nancy Oliver.
