...Some things really are...Stranger than fiction...And such is the film by that name.
A couple weeks ago I rented the movie not sure what to expect. I had seen the previews and they looked funny, but I was wary considering it was staring Will Farrell. Yet I still gave it a fair chance.
I loved the movie, I laughed a lot and some things were just sweet and adorable. Take for instance the scene in which Harold Crick (Farrell) wants to impress the baker he's auditing and brings her a box filled with individually packaged variety of flour, stating "I brought you Flours," I found that line simple and complex and very sweet.
I think one of the most interesting things about this movie I liked was that it wasn't traditional Will Farrell. I'm gonna be honest I despise most of Farrells films, they lack taste and the ability to actually be a good film. I have seen only two films that stand out in my mind by him that show he has the ability to go far and be a better actor than he is. Those two being Stranger than Fiction, and the independant film Winter Passing.
I recommend seeing this film, but if you like traditional Farrell and expect to see traditional Farrell, You won't.
I give it 4 1/2 Icecream Scoops out of 5
Rated PG-13 some disturbing images, sexuality, brief language and nudity

I really liked this movie too. There was just one part that I thought was bad and the acting was lame. When Maggie Glyenhal yelled at Will Farrel, "Get bent, Tax Man" I have never ever seen anyone get upset like that. I think Emma Thompson also complimented this movie very well.
I thought stranger than fiction was amazing. It was well done...It is hard but I know I wanted both endings that could have happened. But all in all Wonderful film and worth watching.
