This is a very good, enjoyable and thought-provoking movie which reveals that Will Ferrell can act beyond a strictly comedic role.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2008)

I really liked the movie. Will F. and Maggie G. were outstanding, and actually had chemistry between them. The movie flowed well and the script was well-written. My only "neutral" comment ("negative" would be too harsh) is that Dustin Hoffman did the best he could in regard to an explanation or two in the plot which could have been more succinctly defined and explained. It is certainly a "feel good" movie, but with more substance. The talent of character actors featured is most impressive. I do not remember the initial release of "Stranger Than Fiction". I hope the movie was promoted well; "Stranger Than Fiction" would have deserved it.
