Give it a go

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2007)

Original and worth the time. The far fetched plot is a joy to watch unfold, so much so, you forget it is such a far fetched plot. As I watched this, I kept thinking, what an incredibly fantastic thing that would be. How would one react to such a phenomenon? Could you get anyone to believe you?
Will Ferrell is actually one of my LEAST favorite actors, but he does a wonderful job here. Emma Thompson, is perfect as always. Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Dustin Hoffman are also excellent in their roles. Queen Latifah plays low key and and balances Thompson's twitchy character with her almost droll one liners. She is the wonderful "something extra" in the cast.
Fun and original. See it if you get the chance.
