Inspiring and everything an insightful and thoughtful movie should be

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2007)

Harold Crick is a symbol of so many lost people out there. Emma Thompson plays a woman who I know I certainly relate to and I'm sure a lot of people would, and Dustin Hoffman who has yet to give a bad performance in my opinion plays the lovable quirky professor to perfection. I adore Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson and Will Ferell and I went into the movie theatre excited but wasn't expecting the masterpiece of brilliant direction, fantastic script writing and all round excellent acting ( it is arguable that Queen Latifah was miss cast) and if you like to think about life, and humanity then this movie sums it up in a nutshell. It explores the truth in all of us. If you have a scientific mind and can only relate to numbers and sense this movie is for you- if you have a creative artistic mind who can only relate to things of a sensitive and often painful feel then this movie is also for you. If you love a comedy, a drama, or even a love story this movie is for you. It makes you think, cry, laugh and empathise through the good direction the brilliant script and the very talented actors
