Holiday Movie Review: "Stranger than Fiction"

Welcome to yet another film review. I had the time in my schedule to view Will Ferrell's latest film "Stranger than Fiction." I didn't quite know with what frame of mind to approach the film, given Ferrell's previous endeavours (i.e. "Elf," "Anchorman" and the like). However, I was pleasantly pleased (redundant redundancy) with Ferrell's ability to be funny and yet almost charming at times.

For those who are not familiar with the premise of "Stranger then Fiction," Ferrell stars as an IRS auditor from New York City who finds himself the protagonist of renowned British author Karen Eiffel's latest tragic book in which Ferrell's character will inexorably die upon the book's completion. Throughout the wholesome film, some twists, turns and a surprising romance involving Maggie Gyllenhaal take place keeping the audience attentive.

All in all, I give this movie three out of four turkeys. Don't break the bank or turn your lives upside down to see the movie, but I guarantee it won't be an absolute waste of your time. Enjoy the rest of your weekends. I'll be at Gap tomorrow, so I'll report on that pending the status of my life. Ciao.
