Not your typical Will Ferrell

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2019)

I went and saw this against my better judgement. I had not yet seen a movie where Will Ferrell was the lead that I actually liked. I like him well enough in supporting roles, but I do not find his comedic style to be one with which I jive. Regardless of this, I found this movie to be well above par.
This is the story of Harold Crick, who while going about his life starts to hear someone narrating what he is doing. Determined to show that he is not going crazy, Harold does his best to figure out who is narrating his life, and why. Do not think that this movie is long on laughs, it is not. This is a more serious film, with a touch of romance thrown in. Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal are both great in their roles. This is a very well done movie with some very big name actors relegated to supporting roles.
