Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2006)

I loved this movie! I think many people will have a hard time seeing Will Ferrell as a serious actor after he has done so many comedies... and often relied on childish, slapstick humor (and being naked). In this movie his performance is still funny, yet it is much more intelligent and subtle. The meaning of his life, life in general, and the life of Harold Crick (as the narrator's character in her latest novel "Death and Taxes") all run together in a way that intrigues me enough to want to see it again. If you liked Punch Drunk Love, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you will probably enjoy Stranger Than Fiction. Do not go if you expect it to be anything like Anchorman or Old School!
