Stranger Than Fiction reminds me quite a bit of The Truman Show. Take a comedic actor and drop them into a dramatic role that questions the nature of our reality in a really impressive way. I'm not normally a huge Will Ferrell fan but I thought he was great in this. The supporting cast is all excellent as well but this is absolutely Ferrell's movie. The way it intermingles the performances with the narrative conceit is well done and a lot of fun which, along with the visual flourishes, creates a wonderful and immersive experience worth watching.
