Little did he know

I sincerely recommend you see Stranger Than Fiction.


This was a great comedy. The jokes were clever, and at times subtle, and never pointed out. I hate when comedies make a point of every joke and/or laughable scene. My favorite example of this is the dinner Harold eats at Dave's home. Look at their plates. Not once do the characters glance at the food in a pointed fashion. Love it. Speaking of characters, fantastic cast - all around. Emma Thompson was engaging, kooky, and a little scary all at once. Brian says he heard she was channeling Peter O'Toole for the role. Whatever she did, it worked. Will Ferrell was delicate and honest. For once you didn't feel like you were watching "Will Ferrell." The supporting cast were just as delightful, including Tony Hale and the Sonic commercial guys . Towards the end of the movie you start to think that there's no way this can end in a satisfactory way. But then it does. The graphics, cinematography, story, everything about this movie was lovely and fun.
