A Good kind of Strange ...

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2007)

This movie has an innovative plot line and it kept me engaged until the end. I wouldn't exactly call the movie funny; I'd say the word "endearing" is more appropriate.
Basically, the movie is about a quiet, reserved man who comes to realize something very unusual is happening to him: he is hearing a voice in his head. Not just any voice though - a voice that describes what is happening to him in rich, literary detail. It sounds very much like narration ...
The strongest aspect of the movie is definitely its unusual plot. How it unfolds and what happens is what keeps the movie interesting. The innocent tone gives the movie a heartfelt atmosphere. Ferrel seems perfectly cast as a mild-mannered character and Thompson seems right for the role of a neurotic writer.
If you are in the mood for some light entertainment, this is a great choice.
