Stranger than Fiction

This movie was a sweet surprise. The story line not so captivating one would think but it comes as a sweet shock when you laugh along and live the life of Harold Crick, an IRS agent who does not control his fate and he is just fascinated I think that would be mildly put, he is obssessed with numbers, everywhere every time he always finds numbers to keep him busy be it the restroom or the steps he takes to the bus stop. In short he does not have a life and this Karen Eiffel, the writer of his story forces him to get one. The way he tries to communicate with the author when things go wrong for him is really funny to watch.

The scene where his house gets wrecked is funny and then he realizes that its time he gets control over his life and does so many things he always wanted to do.

Maggie Gyllenhall has played her role as Ana Pascol well and Emma Thompson excels in her role as Karren Eiffel, the psychotic writer who imagines herself being killed when she wants to kill one of her characters, of course you can't expect much less from an actor of her calibre. Will Ferell is funny and charming as always. Directed by Marc Forster(Finding Neverland...wat's with this guy..always books,authors and fiction)

All in all a good watch this movie.
