Just as good as American Beauty

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2007)

When i first saw Will Farrel's photo on the poster i thought "no thanks i don't want a comedy" but this movie is what One Hour Photo was to Robin Williams.
This great movie proves he can do this serious type of film not to mention the type of character.
... "This is a story about Harold Crick and his wrist watch" ...
Harold Crick is a boring, methodical IRS officer who is unwittingly having a novel written about him, one Wednesday he starts hearing what Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson) is typing in her novel; first thinking he is going insane he starts hearing the little mundane details of his life coming true; then he hears the line "Little did he know that this simple seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death."
Harold then decides to change his life, searching for Kay and telling one of his auditee's Ana (Maggie Gyllenhaal) that he wants her.
If i wrote more i'd have to click the "Contains Spoiler " box.
This film definitely belongs up there in the best drama's ever; taking the viewer from the lows of boredom and stagnancy to the high of being in love and happy in life
Sooooooooo worth seeing...
