Produced by Jean Doumanian and Lisa Muskat. Cinematography, Tim Orr. Production design, Richard Wright. Costumes, Erin Orr. Original score, David Wingo and Michael Linnen. Starring Zooey Deschanel and Paul Schneider, with Patricia Clarkson, Benjamin Mouton, Maurice Compte, Danny McBride and Shea Whigham. Sony Pictures Classics, 2002. 108 minutes. R. D avid Gordon Green’s second feature after his acclaimed 2000 George Washington, which did not play Eugene, All the Real Girls stars Zooey Deschanel in her first leading role. It’s about time. Deschanel gave a memorable perform- ance in Almost Famous, as the sister who leaves home and becomes an airline hostess. In The Good Girl she was the bright light of comic relief at the boring superstore where Jennifer Anniston also worked. Here she plays a young woman, Noel, who’s just returned to a Southern mill town after gradu- ating from boarding school. The film’s male lead, Paul (Paul Scheider), is a millworker who’s a slacker at heart. He sleeps around with the local girls and hangs with his pals: Tip (Shea Whigham), who’s Noel’s brother; Bo (Maurice Compte); and Bust-Ass (Danny McBride). Either these guys are especially infantile or else growing up in a small North Carolina town has dis- rupted their emotional growth. Patricia Clarkson, who should have received an Academy Award nomination for her role in Far From Heaven, is wasted here. She plays Paul’s mother, Elvira, who dons a clown outfit for chil- dren’s parties and visits to the hospital. I have no idea what is going on for this character. Green makes her look pathetic. Because there’s really nothing happen- ing for the characters in the story, or around them, this group of twentysomethings not only seem way immature but retro. Is it right for Tip to believe it’s his duty to protect his 18-year-old sister’s virginity? Where on earth did he get that idea? And why does Paul, who falls in love with Noel, care? Sure, Tip threatens to beat him up if he steps over the line, but when was the threat of physical harm ever a deterrent to mutual sex between young adults? And why doesn’t Noel tell all of them to freak off? The closest movie depiction of this regressive a group mindset I’ve seen are the more violent young men and indifferent women in Boys Don’t Cry, who also come from a dead-end, small town in the middle of nowhere. Less murderous but similarly dis- connected characters in SubUrbia, directed by Richard Linklater and written by Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio), live in strip-mall, suburban Texas. They give a hard time to the one guy who got out of town and made some- thing of himself. Perhaps there’s an epidemic of this cultural malaise, which could be con- tagious: “I’m stuck here. Don’t blame me!” Green tries to tell a love story about two people who do some of the right things and lots of the wrong things in a relationship that may be doomed from the start. Despite a bad script and little clear direction, Deschanel manages to make something out of noth- ing. She understates her character, and in the scenes where there’s real chemistry with Schneider, the film’s sweet moments work fine. But at other times, the unacknowl- edged depression of the characters over- whelms the story, leav- ing the viewer with just a sliver of hope that these two may find friendship if not true love together. Opening Friday April 25, All the Real Girls is well worth seeing for its lovely Smoky Mountain locales, beautifully shot by Tim Orr, who names Terrence Malick as his primary influence. And don’t dismiss David Gordon Green — he’s just getting started. This film won a special jury prize at Sundance 2002 for “emotional truth.” Recommended. ew . . . a love story about two people who do some of the right things and lots of the wrong things in a relationship that may be doomed from the start.
