Summary: A "real" story of young love
Review: This was a nice break from your typical teenage love stories. Although those are nice, and are a great form of light entertainment, David Gordon Greene was more ambitious with this picture. Young love is heartwrenching, and ultimately someone will get their heart broken. When you are young and dealing with love, you are often confused as to what you feel, and will make rash decisions that will change your life forever. But once again ultimately someone is going to have their heart broken when you have people falling head over heels in love with each other. In this movie, David Gordon Greene does an unbelievable job of capturing the feeling of falling in love and the devastating heartbreak that goes along with it. Real life is a rollercoaster, and this movie takes the audience along for the ride. It is not for everyone, but if you have forgotten what it felt like to be young and in love this movie is for you.

Summary: It is really about first love
Review: What a lovely and bittersweet little movie. It's a small film, framed as a small-town romance, the ups and downs of a relationship that might have been forever ' but wasn't ' and all the reasons why. Wonderfully acted in a way that makes the dialogue feel improvised and spontaneous, All the Real Girls stars Paul Schneider playing a guy whose total focus has been to bed as many of the town's girls as possible, so many that he's lost count. Then he falls, and falls hard for the sister of one of his friends, a character played with real skill by Zooey Deschanel. For the first time in his life, Paul sees sex as an expression of love, not just lust.
It's a good one.

Summary: "I Had A Dream You Grew A Garden On A Trampoline"
Review: When David Gordon Green's debut film George Washington came out in 2000, I was instantly captured. This was a film that spoke with the memorable poetry of someone both common and extrordinary in its unique dialogue, and melted me with its beautiful images. Well, Green is back again this year and he is clearly going places (while remaining in the deep south with his films, a place clearly near to his heart). His second feature, All the Real Girls, took strides from his first and made me truly excited as to where this talented young director will go next.
A poetic and honest film, All the Real Girls explores young love and the tragedy of two people who's lives simply intersect at the wrong point in time. Green said to his co-writer and star of the film (Paul Schneider) that they needed to make this story and they needed to do it soon, because they weren't getting any younger. Well, the feelings must still be fresh enough, because this outpouring comes straight from a young heart. It brings its viewer back to a time when they could identify completely with those feelings of being in over one's head and just fighting to keep on the surface.
On top of being a refreshing and unique portrayal of a teen-esque romance, All the Real Girls is simply more than solid in all of its aspects. It delivers some of the absolute best performances of the year (Patricia Clarkson, Zooey Deschanel, and Paul Schneider are all noteworthy here), one of the best scripts, and Green's signature striking photography. All the Real Girls is a film in the spirit and tradition of those of Terrence Malick (one of Green's inspirations) and is not to be missed.

Summary: Dia-lag
Review: Writer/director David Gordon Green's All The Real Girls tries to capture the esscence of young love, sort of the way Endless Love, tried to decades ago. To a certain extent the 2003 film does just that. It's too bad that the script has to have its share of contrived dialogue that can get in the way of the good stuff. In a sleepy little mill town in North Carolina, Paul (Paul Schneider, who also contributed to the film's story) is the town Romeo. But when his best friend Tip's (Shea Whigham) sister Noel (Zooey Deschanel) returns home from a boarding school, he finds himself falling hard for her innocent charms. In spite of her lack of experience and the violent protests of her brother, the two find themselves in a sweet, dreamy and all-consuming love. Despite some dreadfull dialogue that seems forced, there's enough sparks between Schneider and Deschanel, to see it through. The film also captures the sleepy town feel and its locales almost become characters in the movie. Director David Gordon Green tries to make this film a bit different in the way he put it all together and for the most part, this stuff works as well. The DVD has an Ok audio commentary by the director and cast members. At times there's some of the self importance syndrome speak, but, not enough to really bother me. A few deleted scenes are included, most of which, don't add much, and were wisely left on the cutting room floor. The featurette "Improv and Ensemble: The Evolution of a Film", dicusses the process of how the film came together, fairly standard if you ask me. The theatrical trailer rounds out the disc's bonus material. In the end, All The Real Girls, is worth a peek. This, despite verbage problems. The old saying, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it", certainly applies
