Easily a best screenplay nominee

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2006)

One of the smartest and yet most moving screenplays I have seen in a long time, brought to life by across-the-board wonderful performances. Savvily marketed as a comedy, this movie turns out to be so much more than a "simple" comedy. Possibly Will Ferrell's best work in his film career; his "Truman Show" moment when he can show that he is more than a man-boy comedic buffoon and can hold his own against acting heavyweights like Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. By turns funny, moving, poignant, introspective and engrossing, "Stranger Than Fiction" may very well turn out to be one of the best movies of the year, if not the decade.
