Stranger Than Fiction
We just got back from watching this touching movie and I heartily recommend it. I have not been a big Will Ferrell fan but when I saw the trailer for this movie, the premise and the presence of Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson made it a must see. The premise, in case you have missed it, is that one day an IRS auditor (played by Ferrell) starts hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life, moment by moment. The phrase "Little did he know it would lead to his eminent death," really catches his attention and he begins his quest to find out what ride he has gotten onto.
We went to see this film because of its cast and entertaining premise but were pleasantly rewarded by its thought provoking depth and characterizations. It was a positive and delightful way to spend two hours.
