Time For A Life Audit

by pmills1210 pmills1210 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 29 '06
Pros: Ferrell, Gyllenhaal, Hoffman, Thompson, script, direction
Cons: Queen Latifah underutilized; reminiscent of some Woody Allen work
Harold Crick lived an ordinary and uneventful life as an auditor for the IRS. Then he started hearing a voice inside his head. In spite of proclamations from psychiatrists that he might be insane, Harold (Will Ferrell) knew the voice was real, for it ...

Stranger Than Fiction — I Hear Voices All the Time Planning My Demise

by elvisdo elvisdo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 15 '07
Pros: Ferrell and the cast involved; quite a thought-provoking movie
Cons: Those looking for an over-the-top Ferrell will be disappointed
I was hoodwinked. Having Will Ferrell in any film spells bust-a-gut laughter without a second thought. It is guaranteed that he is going to make an ass out of himself in some way. That’s why Stranger The Fiction threw that proverbial ...

AN ENJOYABLE ROMP THROUGH LITERARY REALITY

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 10 '06
Pros: Great acting, writing, funny with a strong human element
Cons: None
From the moment I saw the first trailer for this film, I thought I would enjoy it. After I watched it this afternoon, I was wrong about one thing: I actually enjoyed it more than I anticipated. I've had mixed feelings about Will Ferrell in the past. ...

Stranger than Fiction (2006)

by lemon_lime Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 12 '06
Pros: Ferrell, Gyllenhaal, Hoffman, Emma Thompson
Cons: none particularly
There is a certain kind of film that, if done well, I fall for each and every time, that plays to some inner note within my heart that never fails to respond accordingly. I'm not sure precisely what it is that resonates so soundly in these films - and ...

Stranger Than Fiction doesn't shine eternally, but it's nearly spotless

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 15 '06
Pros: Great performances
Cons: The trailers gave away too much story
Stranger Than Fiction is an interesting fantasy tale starring Emma Thompson as an author writing about a man played by Will Ferrell, and he happens to be a real person. Ferrell’s character can hear the author’s narration in his head, and ...

Will Ferrell Gets Serious

by shopaholic_man shopaholic_man is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 29 '06
Pros: Will Ferrell has a great dramatic role here. Maggie Gyllenhaal is also great.
Cons: feel good Hollywood ending?
Mark watched a movie with his son this weekend that he really enjoyed. The name of the film was "Stranger than Fiction". He decided to write about it on Epinions. Just when I thought every movie was the same old thing, along comes ...

An Author in Search of an Original Idea: Stranger Than Fiction

by trust12345 trust12345 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 06 '07
Pros: Cast (except an over-doing it Emma Thompson), visual design, quirky love story
Cons: Been there, done that script; plot holes; overly cute; amounts to little
It’s impressive that the screenplay for the dramatic comedy (dramedy), Stranger Than Fiction (2006), was penned by Zach Helm at the age of 30. It would be a lot more impressive, however, if the story were more original. Concerning an IRS agent ...

Will Ferrell In a Semi-Serious Role?

by bilavideo bilavideo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 22 '06
Pros: smart, philosophical, endearing
Cons: too smart for its own good, sags in the middle
It's no secret that writers play God but does anyone think about the implications? If human beings can create ant farms of their own, creating characters out of nothing, who rise and fall according to the pleasure of the author, what does that say about ...

You're Just Jealous because the Voice Wants to Kill Me

by carstairs38 carstairs38 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 11 '06
Pros: Funny and moving story backed up by great performances
Cons: Could have been a little funnier
Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) lives a boring life. He has no friends or social life. He works as an auditor for the IRS. He's so boring that he counts the number of times he brushes his teeth in the morning and the number of steps he takes. All that ...

Stanger Than Fiction Left Me Empty

by susieq112 , Jul 10 '08
Pros: Decent Movie Until You Get To The End, Interesting Concept
Cons: Some characters motives are sketchy and some don’t seem to have a purpose
It wasn’t until today that I was afforded the chance to watch Stranger Than Fiction. Even though I’m not a die-hard Will Ferrell fan I know his main plight is comedy, but there really aren’t many laughs here with his character, Harold ...

My Reviews are Stranger than Fiction

by updateghost updateghost is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 23 '07
Pros: Story. Performances.
Cons: Lacks greatness. I think I've typed this con before?
Sometimes, the only thing wrong with a movie is its lack of greatness. Stranger than Fiction is a very well-crafted film, and doesn't contain any lines or scenes which seem particularly off-key. But the film doesn't warrant a second ...

Lamer Than Fact

by jackiechad jackiechad is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Apr 28 '08
Pros: Unique GUI graphics, funny moments
Cons: Poor romantic elements, weak characters/portrayals
Stranger Than Fiction was recommended to me as a really good movie. Being a comedy about a writer I thought I might enjoy it. I guess I’m just too set in my ways, though, because all I saw was a romantic comedy. Don’t get me wrong, I laughed ...

by sfarmer76 , Mar 28 '07
Pros: Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson shine; the cinematography is sharp; Spoon's soundtrack is engaging.
Cons: I would have liked to see larger roles for Tom Hulce and Queen Latifah.
Stranger Than Fiction (2006) was directed by the affable Marc Forster of Monster's Ball fame. This hybrid comedy/drama about a ...

Pros: Splendid cast and story; good writing and directing; fine insights into story telling
Cons: Climax is a sell out!
