All the Real Girls. (B-) Romance set in a tiny town somewhere in flyover country. Paul is an amiable slacker in his early 20's who spends all his time working on trucks, goofing off with his guy friends, and sleeping with (and then alienating) every single woman in town. The standing order is upset when Noel, the younger sister of his best friend, moves back to town after being away at a boarding school for several years, and Paul quickly falls in love for the first time in his life. The movie plods a little bit, and there are a couple of unnecessary arty montages, but there are enough twists and turns to keep it generally interesting. Zooey Deschanel, who I thought was very good in small parts in The Good Girl and the lame Tim Allen vehicle Big Trouble, doesn't quite pull off the pivotal lead role of Noel, but still and all I thought this was a decent movie.
