Will Ferrell plays Harold Crick, an IRS Agent whose world is turned upside-down when he begins to hear his life being chronicled by a narrator only he can hear. The Narrator, Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson), a nearly forgotten author of tragic novels, is struggling to complete her latest and best book, unaware that her protagonist is alive and uncontrollably guided by her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears the Narrator say that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death. (Sony)

A really great idea to let author and protagonist get in contact. This movie is a treat for all fand of literature theory and literature in general. I was really astounded by Will Ferrell's performance and Emma Thompson was just amazing. I also get to notice Maggie Gyllenhaal more and more positively. The only mediocre performance but depending on that mediocre part is Queen Latifah's.

A meditation about the permanance of art in the face of the ephemerality of life. Or it would be, if only it had the balls to end the way it should have. Charlie Kaufman-lite.

Breaks a different kind of fourth wall....my heart. That almost landed. First time I saw this, I thought, "They better get this guy to do a James Bond movie." No, scratch that. Only an idiot would have that response. Edit: Full disclosure, this is one of the five or six movies I pop in to shoot tears out of my eyes when the mood strikes me. Take that with a grain of salt though because Babe is another one.

Will Ferrell is restrained and sympathetic in this quietly funny, surprisingly affecting dramedy. It's not perfect -- you may agree with Dustin Hoffman's character when he says the ending is "Okay, not great", as it seems a bit of an artistic compromise -- but this is a smart, sharp, mostly powerful movie masquerading as a broad, high-concept comedy. It works as both.

As is often the case, riotous comedy actors can really deliver in the acting stakes when they dial it back a bit. Ferrell does this here, and acquits himself very well. The high concept framing works, perhaps unravelling a wee bit towards the end, but the film gains a lot of charm from the excellent supporting cast. Forster does a good job marshalling the various elements, and the film feels fresh, funny, smart, and likeable. Well worth seeing.

An enjoyable, interesting and somewhat touching comedy. Ferrell plays a more serious role pretty well here, and the plot structure is unique and engaging. Still...copout ending and not amazingly poignant or anything.

Commendable for trying to make a visually interesting comedy and for the excellent chemistry between (a nicely subdued) Farrell and the dangerously cute Gyllenhaal. The absurdist premise is nice but it fails to deliver in a way that, say, the similar minded Groundhog Day does. The ending feels a bit like a copout and the snippets we're allowed to hear of Thompsons prose seem barely eligible for publication, let alone the makings of the great American classic it purportedly is.

Stranger Than Fiction is a delightful and heartfelt romantic comedy with unique twists and visual effects that make it stand out. The cast is terrific as well, led by an endearing performance on the part of Will Farrel and topped off by a deliciously eccentric performance by Emma Thompson. Awesome!

A simple, lovely fable that tends to be ignored quite easily with audiences because it's either slight (yeah, it doesn't pretend to be more than it is) or because it dares to commit one of the, apparently, more terrible sins of filmmaking: To be sweet. A rocking script, a cool visual approach and top cast make this one hell of a bloody great time. If you expect a laugh-riot, look elsewhere. Really good, just leave your cynic hat at the door. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed every bit of the film while watching it. Had a lot of fun. But this will probably not stay in my memory for long. Somehow fails to make that impact. Interesting screenplay. Performances - of the two leading ladies (baker & writer) was very good, others was just ok. Its ok to settle for 'ok' instead of 'spectacular' in order to enjoy the smaller things and live a happier fuller life - that I think is the message of the film and what makes it worth a watch.

Ferrell is pretty good in this movie but ultimately the story is less engaging than I figured it would have been. It's a movie that doesn't really know what genre it is; one minute its a comedy, then it's a drama, then a romance, but never all-together in one.

An underwhelming and blunderous ending, along with a particularly dubious plot device muck up a rather intriguing premise. To anyone who greatly enjoys this, I strongly propose that you run out and rent/buy Adaptation and see it as soon as you get home, but be warned, one's appreciation of this film is likely to decrease drastically upon completion of Kaufman's much superior work.

Simply adorable. Think what you will of the plot, but there is no denying the disarming charm of Will Ferrell. His relationship to Gyllenhaal's cookie-girl is one of the most palpable seen since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think I'm going to sing a song of praise for Ferrell - it really _is_ his movie. Then I'm going to cry a bit. Then I'm going to watch it again.

Good movie but the cliche lines like "Little did he know" made me skeptical as to just how much these film makers actually know about good literature. Still, good story, fresh and interesting dialogue, and overall a nice change of pace for Will Farrel. The ending was overhyped so much I wasn't surprised when it didn't quite deliver. Yet it's still a memorable and entertaining film.

I was very skeptical about seeing this movie at first, because I was expecting the same character that Will Ferrell plays in every movie. Here, though, as a lonely IRS auditor he actually acts and gives a wonderful performance with the help of a strong supporting cast. A very original movie, it is at times quite humorous and at times deeply moving. If only Will Ferrell would act more often...

The idea behind the plot is a good one. The execution, not so much. Doesn't help that, for a movie which is about a talented book author, every character is boringly one dimensional and extremely predictable. Fun flick to watch if you don't overthink it, I guess.

Stranger than Fiction is funny, but not in the typical over-the-top way that Will Ferrell movies usually are. The situations aren't all that funny, but the dialogue exchanged between the characters is. Characters are well-developed, and you end up caring about them all. While the ending wasn't quite what I was hoping for, the story all-around was solid, and was told in an entertaining way. This is the film that shows Will Ferrell's ability to act in something other than a silly comedy.

Brimming with regrettably predictable plot-turns, miserably stereotypical characters, inopportunely poor acting (with the obvious exception of Emma Thompson, whose performance is stunning), and terribly one-dimentional themes, Stranger Than Fiction is perhaps just what one should expect from a romantic-comedy that attempts, shows promise, yet inevitably fails at searching for meaning which simply isn't there. The ending seems awkwardly drawn out and the plot-line simply isn't engaging. Mediocre.

A somewhat amazing story of the clashing lives and dreams of Harold Crick and his writer, Kay Eiffel. It also is somewhat jarring, to think that truth and reality can sometimes be stranger than fiction. Though how he becomes aware of her narrative voice is somewhat stilling. I loved every minute of it, it's a "what-if" movie that really makes you think.

A romantic comedy with one of the most creative scenarios I've seen in the genre. Would be better -and more original- in my opinion if it was 15 or so minutes shorter though. Good performances from Hoffman and Thompson as always, but an exceptional one from Ferrell which can even be the turning point of his career. Anyway, this is not just another romantic comedy to watch on a boring sunday afternoon, but a one with a very original story, great writing and great acting. Deserves multiple views.

Lives up to its title. Aka how to create a sweet, funny, moving, life-affirming story via an inspired, engrossingly executed mindfuck. The moods of the film and the turns it takes might vary, but the viewer follows suit because they've invested in the characters and can find parallels between this surreal story and real life - a poignancy that is only facilitated by the all-around great acting, which includes a career-defining performance by Will Ferrell and a tour de force from Emma Thompson.

This film gets points for almost being a real classic. I might as well tell you now that the ending is disappointing, because that's the only reason this film hasn't scored in the 90s for me. About twenty minutes from the end, I was thinking that I would cry watching this film. It builds its emotional energy subtly but strongly, but unfortunately as soon as the story begins to conclude, everything just loses all its dramatic punch. ALMOST a gem, but unfortunately it was not to be.

Very original, creative, charming and funny movie about a guy who begins to hear his own life being narrated. Nice movie to watch with friends.

Interesting concept, sometimes comical, sometimes metaphysical, but never quite absurd enough in the way that say a Spike Jonze type director might have handled it. Ultimately Will Ferrell's character was a drag and the only segments I wanted to see were Maggie Gyllenhaal forcing him to change. All the other supporting roles and scenes were a little tiresome. Points awarded only for Maggie, soundtrack and humour. Everything else was forgettable or detracted from the experience.

Out of the box concept, realized in an enjoyable package.

It's good to see Will Ferrell break form a bit and try a more mainstream-type comedy, but the end result falls a little on the bland side. The movie is a decent concept that is conveyed well, but I'm left feeling more could be done.

Cool premise, but it fails to deliver. I couldn't swallow some of the plot, especially regarding Maggie Gyllenhal's character. She dropped out of Harvard Law School to work at a bakery? And she's way out of Will Ferrell's chracter's league. Visually boring too. The choices of Ferrell's character near the end didn't make sense either.

I think this is the most average movie I've ever seen. Dustin Hoffman sums up the movie itself at the end.

Excellent performance by Will Ferrell lifts this offbeat tale.
