Hits the mark

Rating: 7/10 (24 June 2007)

I just saw Starnger than fiction and was pleasantly surprised by Will Ferrell. His performances to date had not been very inspiring and I just s'don't get the "wow" factor, the buzz.
Here he manages to provide an endearing character and is surrounded by so much talent that the viewer is able to allow for any short comings.
Ultimately he does manage to be "in character" and you care about Harold.
Maggie is amazing as ever, Tony Hale was great and the rest of the cast filled out what could have been a very thin plot.
All in all this is a great Sunday afternoon experience.
I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys a little escape from the "real world" for a little while.
