Couldn't find a thread on this movie. Quite surprised by Stranger Than Fiction in a good way. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Anyone else seen it?

Re: Stranger Than Fiction

I saw this movie this past Saturday and even though Will's comedy-side never really grew onto me - I truly truly enjoyed how well he plays the unemotional IRS agent in the midst of a crisis he cant really put his finger on. This was definitely a flip role for him and he pulled it off BRILLIANTLY.

I really enjoyed the casting of the movie as well. Emma Thomson - the English writer, Maggie Gyllenhaal (who I haven't seen until this flick) the Heroine, Dustin Hoffman as the literary scholar, the nerdy good friend from work, all were such an incredibly well mixed cast with diverse personalities, except for Queen Latifah .... she walked into her intro scene and I was like wtf ? Taxi Cab in a suit !!

The movie wraps up too with a pleasant surprise, on a positive note with a "feelgood" ending despite being devoid of action, twisted plots, unnecessary adult language and sequences full of eye candy.

A true family fun movie and it DEFO deserves an [B]8 / 10[/B]
