Great!

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2008)

Marc Forster it's a versatile guy. After the drama "Monster's Ball", Forster directed the beautiful "Finding Neverland" and the inconceivable "Stay". But Forster improve yourself in "Stranger Than Fiction". Will Ferrell is great like Harold Crick, common and methodic man that starts to listen a stranger voice narrating his life (the most original idea of the decade). Helped by a literature teacher (Dustin Hoffman), he discover that her "authoress" is Karen Eiffel(Emma Thompson, fantastic), that is having a creative blockade (problem that is resolved by the "secretary" Queen Latifah) and always kill your main characters in the end. But Harold doesn't want to die now, because he finds the woman of his life (Maggie Gyllenhaal, great as always). What we see next is a screenplay lesson from master Zach Helm, and a directing lesson from Marc Forster. The philosophical end is just wonderful and all this results in a movie nothing less than perfect.
