Saccharine Entertainment

Rating: 6/10 (15 November 2006)

Stranger than Fiction is well written, well shot, well acted and well worth the view - if you like that sort of thing. That "thing" I am referring to is the saccharine, typical love-story. I would liken it to the Halloween candy I ate a few weeks ago that sounded like a good idea and tasted good while I was eating it, but it all just made me feeling a bit ill by the time I was done.
If you like the sweet love story genre in general, where characters fall in love despite their various ineptitudes and then live happily ever after, you'll like this movie. For what it's worth, it was a good, but I am not the type that enjoys this kind of movie.
With that said, I think it will be a while before I indulge in something as sweet as Stranger Than Fiction, lest I find myself ill again.
