Movie Description
Known to most audiences for his hilarious characters, funnyman Will Ferrell continues to try his hand at more serious material with STRANGER THAN FICTION. The film comes as relatively light fare for director Marc Forster, whose previous works were FINDING NEVERLAND and MONSTER'S BALL. While not exactly a drama, the film shifts between humorous and heavy realms, one of its central questions being: "What makes a comedy or a tragedy?" In WINTER PASSING and MELINDA AND MELINDA, Ferrell awkwardly occupied a strange space that was neither clearly dramatic nor comedic, leaving audiences confused over whether to laugh at the actor or with him. Here, in the role of boring Harold Crick he appears a bit more at ease, as Harold is not expected to be funny--funny things just happen to him. Instead of depending on Ferrell for jokes, the film delivers laughs on its own by exploring what happens when an IRS agent with a dull, solitary life receives unwanted company in the form of an intrusive female voice narrating his every move. As distracting as this is, things become truly worrisome when the narrator (Emma Thompson as an eccentric author) informs Harold of his looming death.


How Harold's life changes as a result of this terrifying knowledge depends largely on wacky Professor Jules Hilbert (Dustin Hoffman) and on tax-evading baker/love interest Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal). While Queen Latifah's role as an author's assistant is underdeveloped, Tony Hale brings an innocent charm as Harold's coworker and only friend. At times, the film's take on existentialist themes feels strikingly familiar, and is clearly influenced by features like ADAPTATION and I HEART HUCKABEES. Among its strengths, the film features interesting sets seemingly influenced by the 1950s version of the future, and functions as a small step forward for Ferrell.

Editorial Reviews
"You need to see how Ferrell switches gears to give a performance of nuanced wit and surprising gravity."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (09/07/2006)

"Ferrell is strikingly funny railing at the omnipresent voice rattling his life."
Box Office - Kevin Courrier (11/01/2006)

3 stars out of 4 -- "This is a Ferrell you've never seen before, nailing a role that calls for breakneck humor in the final race against the clock and touching gravity in the love scenes with Gyllenhaal."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (11/20/2006)

"It is to Mr. Ferrell's credit, and the movie's, that he manages to be interesting without mugging or riffing, but rather by playing a highly controlled man in an impressively controlled manner."
New York Times - A. O. Scott (11/10/2006)

"[A]n eminently easy-to-watch piece....[The director] gets infectious performances out of Maggie Gyllenhaal...Dustin Hoffman...and Thompson..." -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (11/17/2006)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[Ferrell] makes us genuinely root for his bemused hero...It's not often laughs come with so much thought attached..."
Total Film - Neil Smith (01/01/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "The script is brilliant....Thought-provoking..."
Uncut - Chris Roberts (01/01/2007)

"STRANGER THAN FICTION is particularly impressive in its use of stunning Chicago architecture and excellent production design....The performances are also uniformly excellent."
Sight and Sound - Demetrios Matheou (01/01/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "A delightfully surreal and utterly engaging post-modern film that deftly explores what it means to exist."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (05/01/2007)

      Will Ferrell delights yet again
    Review created: 03/06/07
    5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

    Stranger Than Fiction is just a really great movie. I thought it'd be decent, but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Will Ferrell is spectacular in a more serious role and he shows a side of himself we very rarely see. Even though Ferrell is in a serious role it doesn't mean you won't laugh your butt off while watching this film.

    The story is great, original, emotional, funny and the supporting cast is amazing. Stranger Than Fiction will really open your eyes on a couple subjects and it teaches a great lesson in the end.

    I highly recommend you check this movie out, whether you're a Will Ferrell fan or not... this movie is great.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Worth buying: If you're a Will Ferrell fan it's a definite must-buy
