Stranger Than Fiction

[Reephdweller]

I couldn't find a thread on this movie and I'm surprised because it's a good movie. It had sort of an odd Charlie Kaufman kind of feel to it which I liked. I wanted to see it when it first came out because I liked the premise a lot. I thought that it was a clever movie and a real departure from the usual Will Ferrell kind of silly movie. I'm sure if you went in with the idea of wanting to see a Talledega Nights kind of movie than you would be disappointed. I also liked it because I really got to see another side of Will Ferrell, a deeper range to the usual.

Dustin Hoffman is also in it, and he's great. I'm a huge fan of his, and I love Maggie Gyllenhael. If you haven't seen this, check it out.

I know this is a litte sappy but I love this scene...

i wanted to see it but didnt. i hate going out to the movies and being around people. It is now in my net flix que. thank you.

It's worth watching, particularly because Maggie Gyllenhaal is in it. At times while watching it I felt like I really liked it and other times I hated it.

Great movie. One of my favorites to come out in the last few years.

I thought it was good, not great. It didn't have the spark nor intelligence of a Kaufman script but was a decent below-Kaufman Kaufman-y movie. (A better Kaufmany movie: Science of Sleep.) Kaufman.

Anyway, I will say this. Will Ferrell impressed the hell out of me in this. And I never knew how funny Emma Thompson could be.

I really enjoyed this too - I thought it was interesting in a lot of ways...

Ferrell impressed the hell out of me too...

I as well wanted to see this movie when it came out and never went - then I had to use Netflix on it...

It is amazing how much this happens to me... I hate going to movies the first week because of all the talkers who ruin the movie... so if something dies quickly I miss it... I am pissed I didn't get to see Grindhouse yet.. same situation.

I actually ended up seeing this one in the theater and I liked a lot more than I thought I would. It wasn't amazing, but it was a fairly original idea, something that is rare these days. It wasn't amazing, but I'd give it a strong B.

Just noticed this was On Demand, and I will check it out after I check out three other movies I haven't seen yet.(Children of Men, The Prestige and Borat[I know:smoke:])

Movie weekend!!!!

I went to see it somewhat reluctantly and loved it. It's a really solid film.

Maggie Gyllenhael is adorable in the movie.
