Great turn by Will Ferrell playing against type

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2018)

Stranger than Fiction from Marc Foster is a great quirky little movie starring Will Ferrell in an against type role where he plays a straight guy accountant who suddenly starts haring a narration in his head every time he does something. He gets accustomed to it until the voice tells him he will be dead. He searches for answers, falls in love with a client and eventually everything comes together. This movie is proof that a solid idea can be stretched out to make an engrossing film. You should watch this simply for its brilliant premise but everything from Ferrell's acting to the pace and structure of the story will keep you engrossed.
