Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

Good example of when an unconventional story can work on screen. (Plenty of examples of when it doesn't). Nice to see Will Ferrell in a 'straight' comedic role as oppose to his usual spasmodic, reflexive, catchphrase based diatribes. Emma Thompson is the real star in this one though, capturing the struggling writer with 'writer's block' perfectly. Unexpected hit.



4 stars
