Starring Zooey Deschanel, Paul Schneider, Patricia Clarkson, Maurice Compte, Shea Wigham. Directed by David Gordon Green. All The Real Girls is set in a small North Carolina mill town where 22-year old Paul (Schneider) has spent his entire life and is adrift. He lives with his mom, works for his uncle and has a small group of lifelong friends (Tip (Wigham), Bo (Compte) and Bust Ass) who are rowdy, horny and funny. Paul's girlfriends, due to his charm has led to a string of broken hearts for which he feels little if any remorse. But Paul's easy going life and his attitudes about love and women change Noel (Deschanel), Tip's 18-year-old sister. Noel has just arrived back from boarding school, with no plans for the future herself. As the summer progresses, things go very right, and then very wrong, as both Paul and Noel discover real love comes at a cost. They also realize that their experience was turning point that ties them together forever. All The Real Girls is a low-key, thoughtful romance that avoids the usual cutesy hijinks and instead concentrates on the emotions and feelings of the two characters. Coupled with some solid humour and fine performances, it is a solid film. If you would like to respond, please click the E-Mail Press Here To Go To The Review List Page
