It was interesting

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2006)

I just saw Stranger Than Fiction tonite with my friends, let's face it, as a proud Chicago gal, I had to see it. Not to mention that this movie is the reason my best friend got to meet Dustin Hoffman and Will Ferrell since she attends The University of Illinois in Chicago. She was so excited to see Will, but didn't really know who Dustin was, sigh! I know! But, anyways, it looked like an interesting concept and a unique story.
It's about this man, Harold, normal life and a lonely IRS agent who is auditing a young woman who he also has a major crush on. But things are becoming strange when he finds himself listening to a British woman's voice narrating his life. The problem is that he just heard that he is going to die and wants to learn how he could prevent it from happening. Harold meets this author who is a nervous smoking and depressing wreck, when she learns that her character is real, she doesn't know how to end her book.
While, it's well acted well and the story was really interesting, this movie just didn't grab me. It had some funny moments and some sad one's, then I remember being annoyed with the talking and making out teens in the back who for some reason wouldn't shut up. Sorry, had to get that out. But back to the movie, it's something I didn't mind seeing, but probably won't see again, I'm not quite sure if I agree with the rating, but that's cool.
6/10
