Stranger than Fiction

Stranger than Fiction movie poster

It took me a while to get to this one. I knew I wanted to see it since I saw the trailer but just never got to it. i passed on it every time at the theater and just kept passing up seeing it at home until last night. I don’t know why i kept passing it up, since i like Will Ferrell and thought the premise seemed interesting, but I did time after time. I can now say I was making a bad choice most of the time i passed it up. This was almost everything I thought it would be and a bit more. i say almost because it was not as funny as i thought it would be. It did have a nice amount of humor, but not near enough to be a comedy (which i thought it was).

The story is far fetched and kind of ludicrous but I never really questioned it. I am not sure why but it just kinda made sense to me. Will Ferrell is very good in this film. In my opinion this is his best performance to date. i might watch some of his funnier stuff more often but this is by far his best. He did a great job a playing a strange and slightly funny character without taking it way over the top. This movie did a great job at making me care for the characters and proved to be very touching overall.

My rating 8.5 out of 10

Here is the trailer.
