You'd think moviemakers would have run out of new ways of capturing the trials and joys of young love--but director David Gordon Green finds a fresh take in All the Real Girls, a bittersweet small-town romance. By leaving out the usual humdrum exposition of a courtship story, Green cuts right to the little moments that form the high and low points of a budding relationship. It's an impressionistic style aided by the wonderfully spontaneous and unpredictable acting of Paul Schneider (who also co-scripted) and Zooey Deschanel--who look like they're improvising, even though they're not. As in Green's excellent debut feature George Washington, a small town serves as an atmospheric backdrop--this place looks a couple of decades shy of the 21st century. The mosaic approach makes the film play like a collection of memories, someone's first love recalled with fondness and just a bit of regret. --Robert Horton

The Bottom Line:
A film about a relationship in a small town, All the Real Girls is blissfully devoid of the twists and turns that typically characterize larger budget romances and instead of gives the impression that the two leads (played by Paul Schneider and Zooey Deschanel) could be real people--though the occasional moment rings false and the film never becomes more than "good," it's a film worth checking out if you like your romantic films more true to life.

Talking...REAL...SLOW...like...this...does...not...make...you...an...authentic...Southerner...It...just...makes...you...sound...retarded...or...like...you...had...a...bad...dialogue...coach.
I got this movie only because of Zooey Deschanel, who is such a cute sweetheart of a girl to watch onscreen. But even having her in this movie couldn't save it from its fatal flaws of a slow meandering dialogue and relationships that seemed to go nowhere. And those awful Southern accents. Nothing about this movie was authentic, the crying, the feelings of guilt, and lost opportunities, etc., etc. Least of all the relationship between the two main characters. Could not figure out who they really were or why they were together.
It got to be a headache to watch this movie and have to try to listen to and understand those extra slow and fake Southern accents. Thank goodness for the fast forward. Thank goodness it was just a rental.
There's more to making a movie than hiring actors and pointing a camera at them. June 11, 2009

This movie has a fine stock of potentially interesting characters. Unfortunately, you never get to know them. The movie suffers from an acute lack of directing, editing, script and continuity. Having a story to tell doesn't count unless you know how to tell it.
The cinematography does have its moments. But intimate moments are shot from too far away to tell what's happening to the people; establishing shots don't fit together enough to establish anything. Musical passages are chosen not so much to create or enhance mood as to just cover up gaps in dialog.
In order for a "small town romance" -- or any kind of romance -- to work, you have to care about the people. Without this foundation, all you have is random people going through random events.
The high points of the movie are some of the supporting actors, and Zooey Deschanel, who manages to come off naturally even when she isn't given enough to do.

If this movie didn't make people with southern accents look so stupid,
I might have given it a higher rating.
The slow empty music is irritating in a drama like this.
The sound tract is generally tentative.
Ain't you been listening, girl? He has slept with everybody ( 26 is his count). Young love...so this time it is the real thing?
His mom doesn't believe it either.
They share secrets, then it hits the rocks.
