The pen is mightier than the sword

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2007)

"Stranger than fiction" is (To put it simply) a great film.
And now, the reasons behind my statement. First off I believe this to be Will Ferrell's best piece of acting yet, for a man who usually play's over the top and in some cases embarrassing characters, this was defiantly a good turning point for him as an actor and has helped this particular person to appreciate his talent now that I know that he's not always going to be characters like Ron Burgundy (Anchorman) or Jack Wyatt (Bewitched).
I think that "Stranger than Fiction" is a film that you should watch with a group of friends or your family since it has some great elements and subtle of both humour and tragedy. As it has plenty of imagery to discuss, and the standard "Aww" moments you get from time to time. It also has moments which don't have much meaning when you first watch it but when you think back are actually there to give the story as little ironic quirk such as Harold watching the "meaning of live" in the Cinema and the part when Harold Crick is running down the street with an apple in his mouth (reference to "Son of Man" by Rene Magritte) and the picture is concluded when he is talking to the doctor at the office and he is sat in front of cloud pattern wallpaper.
As I said before I enjoyed this film a lot and I would recommend it to most people for the structure of and story it and I would recommend it to the rest of the people as a good family and friends film.
