Profile of All the Real Girls

All the Real Girls can be described as contemplative, sentimental, and sincere. The plot revolves around womanizing, twentysomething life, and best friends. The main genres are drama, independent, and romance. In approach, All the Real Girls is serious and realistic. The storytelling is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in a small town. All the Real Girls is located in North Carolina. It takes place in contemporary times. The soundtrack is pop. All the Real Girls has received attention for being an award winner and critically acclaimed. It is well suited for a date night. Note that it involves brief nudity, sexual content, and profanity.

Summary of All the Real Girls

Writer-director David Gordon Green obliterates the sophomore slump theory with ALL THE REAL GIRLS, an achingly sincere drama that captures the complexities of first love--and loss--with breathtaking honesty. Paul (Paul Schneider), a small town charmer, has spent his life carousing with his buddies Tip (Shea Whigham), Bo (Maurice Compte), and Bust-Ass (a scene-stealing Danny McBride), in addition to sleeping with every girl in town. But when Tip's virginal younger sister, Noel (Zooey Deschanel), returns from boarding school, Paul's priorities change completely. Discovering love for the first time, Paul spurns his lecherous past and declares himself a new man. No more booze, no more two-timing. But just when he thinks he's found redemption, something happens that shatters him to his core.

Like his celebrated debut, GEORGE WASHINGTON, Green's second film unfolds like a nostalgic dream. Haunting, tender, and beautifully photographed by Tim Orr, ALL THE REAL GIRLS is destined to become a classic in the romantic genre. Its success is due in large part to leads Schneider and Deschanel, who deliver performances that are chilling in their nakedness.

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
It's thrillingly original, lyrical, and wise, and the filmmaker conveys the mutable intensity of young love with the authoritative originality of an important filmmaker.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The verdict? Green passes with flying colours -- his is a huge and hugely impressive talent.

I recently saw this movie while on a business trip. It was slow, plodding and totally uninteresting. I have a high tolerance for movies and often like movies that reviewers have panned as long as they entertain me. This one was hopelessly dull and...
