Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2009)

Harold Crick lives a dull life.He's an IRS agent who lives alone and follows his routines every day.Then one day, while he's brushing his teeth, he hears a woman's voice.Somebody is narrating his life.It gets serious when this narrator tells he's going to die.He goes to seek help for this mystery from Professor Jules Hilbert.His advice he starts living his life.So he buys a guitar and starts wooing Ana Bascal, a baker he met when he was sent to audit her.It is found out that an author called Karen Eiffel is writing a book that has Harold Crick as its protagonist.Now he has to find Karen and ask her to change the ending.Harold's wristwatch has a big role in the story.Marc Forster's Stranger Than Fiction (2006) is a fascinating movie.A man finds out his life is a book.Not something you see in every movie.The actors are all good.Will Ferrell shows us the tears of a clown.Sure he's also funny in this one but there is a lot of tragedy in his character.Dustin Hoffman represents the legend section as the literature professor.You can't do nothing but admire the man's work in this film.Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the love interest in the story.Emma Thompson is the woman who writes the story.Queen Latifah is Penny Escher, her assistant.Tony Hale plays Dave, Harold's only friend at work.Tom Hulce is in the role of Dr.Cayly.The little woman Linda Hunt is in the role of Dr.Mittag-Leffler.Bruce Jarchow is Commuter.I enjoyed watching Starnger Than Fiction.This film works great as both tragedy and comedy.
