Real Girl Gone Wild
5 July 2004
`All the Real Girls' is not based on what is gradually becoming a minority group of women which still possess natural breasts. Ok! Don't curse at me! I do not want to be entrapped in a `tit for tit, I mean tit for tat' situation. `All the Real Girls' is an independent film dealing with the standard indie theme of `forbidden love in Small Town America'. Zooey Deschanel stars as Noel, a whiney & inextricable gal who at times seemed that her concentration was not tuned in to the right `chanel'. This Noel is a `lost clause I mean cause'. Noel falls for her brother's best friend Paul, played by newcomer Paul Schneider. Paul is a small town lothario who has practically seduced & dumped all the real girls of his small town. Well, predictably our protagonists fall head over heels for each other. However, they must overcome such obstacles as: a domineering alcoholic brother, a gossip-occupied town, and a sexual identity crisis. Various film critics overpraised `All The Real Girls'. Hopefully, all the real critics will realize that this is a threadbare & stale film about love in a small town. I must do admit that I was impressed by Deschanel's work here. `Zooey's summer small town groove' was on with her ardent performance. Guys, do not take all you real girls to see `All The Real Girls'! Instead go take them to see `All The Kneel Girls'! I hope this review didn't blow it! *** Average
