Creative plot

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2007)

This film is about a writer whose imagination actually dictate the lives of real life characters.
The plot is imaginative and creative. The setting of the film is every day and down to earth, which makes the characters me believable. The added special effects at the beginning of the film, like the numbers of times he brushes his teeth, and how the kitchen is outlined by white lines, adds a comedic and contemporary feel to the film.
The acting is excellent. Emma Thompson plays the nervous writer who has a writer's block, and she portrays the nervous self very well. Will Ferrell plays a lost man trying to delay his death, and I am very glad that he finally appears in film without pulling any silly faces.
It is worth a watch, but the film can be slow at times. If there was tighter editing, the film would be more enjoyable.
