This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Stranger than Fiction is a good film with a quirky synopsis. An auditor suddenly finds a female narrating his every move. After getting accustomed to it he is given a jolting prediction- that he is soon to die, which understandably freaks him out. Trying to make sense he goes around to people which form the body of the film. This is a thought provoking movie with a fine turn by Will Ferrell as the lead who hears his life narration- an uncharacteristic foray into serious acting by the comedian. Emma Thomson lends her lush voice as the narrator. For an offbeat film with a soul you cannot go wrong with Stranger than Fiction.

This is exactly the kind of story I would write if I was a screenwriter! Just like Ruby Sparks (2012) by Zoe Kazan (yes, she's the granddaughter of great Elia Kazan).
Actually when I was younger I loved try and write something and one of the story, never finished to say the truth, was about a character who realizes he is fictional. This movie is perfect. I love Emma Thompson, since I first saw her acting in 1989 Tall Guy (higly recommended): she his one of my favorite actress.And I love Will Ferrel, too. One of my favorites is Land of the Lost (2009), a movie that look like the plot was written by sci fi writers Robert Sheckley and Douglas Adams together!I love this movie so much that I want to watch it again in the original version, you know: here in Italy they distribute just dubbed movies. Fortunately DVD prices have had a vertical collapse from 30 to 4.99 euros and less!Long life to Internet streaming if this is the reason for prices reduction:)

On the surface it's another film with a good concept, horribly executed, but not the worst film of all time - not even close.
However, just the ending alone pisses me off so badly it makes this film a limp, useless waste of time.

I enjoy this film a great deal. It speaks to my sense of awkwardness in a way very few films have managed. The characters are well drawn and extremely lovable, you cannot help but appreciate them as real people. I particularly enjoy the contrast between Harold (Farel) and the narrator.I have seen it quite a few times now and I intend to see it many more.
