"His name is Harold Crick"

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2007)

"Stranger Than Fiction" is a great movie, and one of Will Ferrell's better fairings in a movie. The acting by Ferrell was at its best, as well as the acting by Dustin Hoffman and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Hoffman as the professor was a favorite of mine.
The storyline was easy to follow, and the characters memorable, which makes it an instant hit with me. When a man starts to hear voices, you would think he was going insane, but not Harold. As an IRS agent, Harold starts to hear his life be narrated. It turns out, Harold is the subject of a book by Karen Eiffel.
It is a love story and it is too a drama. Very well written, directed and acted out. And it is great to see Dustin Hoffman in a role that is fitting to his likeness again. And to see Ferrell in a film that is not nearly so stupid is a plus for him. It shows that he wants to be a serious actor in the business.
