A nice story of odd circumstance

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2014)

There isn't much to add in another review of this movie as there are already over 500!
But I can say, for anyone seeking a finely told story, that this is a good choice! If you are concerned about Will Ferrell as the lead actor and this being one of his goof ball comedies, you are wrong. He's not a comedic actor I enjoy but his dramatic acting is spot on and he does a fine job here.
The movie is also visually pleasing with sets reflective of the characters and rich with colors. There is a scene in the movie with Harold Crick sitting on a bus - and it's one of those double buses with the accordion like flexible middles. Crick is sitting at the accordion part - the movement outside the bus as it turns and travels is reflective of what is about to happen to Crick. In other words his life is about to become very confusing and unbalanced.
