A Book and a Wristwatch that may change Harold's life.

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2010)

"This is a story about a man named Harold Crick and his wristwatch. Harold Crick was a man of infinite numbers, endless calculations, and remarkably few words. And his wristwatch said even less." Writer Zach Helm and Marc Forster did not disappoint with this hit! The cast is full of known actors and actresses who have a good reputation and this movie adds to their fame. In this film, an IRS auditor, Harold Crick's (played by Will Ferrell) life is being narrated by Karen Eiffel, an author who only writes tragedies (played by Emma Thompson). Harold is the only one who can hear this voice, and when it says "Little did he know that this simple seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death," he panics. Trying to live his life as it was before it was being narrated would prove to be much harder than he thought! Between living out his dreams, trying to find his narrator, and falling for an audited bakery owner, Ana Pascal, (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) Harold has a lot on his plate. This movie was fun to watch, packing many movie genres into one. Stranger Than Fiction, is a romantic comedy with a little bit of drama also added in. Ferrell and Gyllenhaal make this movie a good date film or even one to watch as a pick-me-up. The cast and the plot keeps the audience laughing and wanting to watch more until the credits start to roll.
