5.0 out of 5 stars Original, clever metafiction, 21 April 2008
By Irish Reader (Bastardstown, Republic of Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stranger Than Fiction [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is an ordinary Civil Servant. Going about his daily life he hears the voice of an author narrating her new novel. A shrink advises Crick to take prescribed medication but he's convinced he's acting out the novel's main character. The novelist Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson) is reputed for always killing off her main character. So Crick is on mission to track her down before it's too late! Eiffel's writing assistant is played by the rap-artist Queen Latifah.

Employed by the Inland Revenue, Crick is sent to audit a baker who pays only 78% of her taxes. He instantly falls in love with the baker - the gorgeous but rebellious Anna Pascale (Maggie Gyllenhaal). What begins as a sort of love/hate relationship flourishes over time. Dustin Hoffman excels as ever. Originally he wanted the lead role in this movie but I suspect the directors were reluctant to cast him dating the stunningly cute Gyllenhaal, an actress 40 years his junior! So he has to settle for the eccentric Professor Jules Hilbert instead. He's an important character who helps Crick track down the elusive novelist. It's all very well cast. Even Crick's wristwatch becomes a character in the story!

If you're after something a bit different yet not too "off the wall", check out this film. I for one am very happy to award it the full five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre but excellent, 27 Dec 2006
This review is from: Stranger Than Fiction [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
A totally bizarre film concerning an everyday guy who suddenly becomes the main character in a book written by an author who always writes stories where the leading character ends. Unfortunately Will Ferrell does not realise he is the leading character until it is almost too late!!! Very comical with some excellent acting!!! Highly recommended!!!
