Stranger than Fiction

STRANGER THAN FICTION (2006) - Nov. 6, 2006
A well-acted film featuring a pretty strange premise (a man suddenly starts hearing a woman's voice narrating his life, and tries to track her down after she announces he is to die), this was good if a bit overlong. Will Ferrell was surprisingly good in the main role, making Harold Crick someone we really cared about. Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah and Emma Thompson (she needs to act more) were also expectedly good. The film was well-made but a tad on the long side. I'm between two and a half and three on this one, but it was good so I guess I'll give it a three. ***
