Movie Reveiw: Stranger than Fiction

My apologies to the American public, but I am not a big Will Ferrell fan. Actually, I am not a fan at all. I have no desire to see all his movies. I think he is pretty funny and all, but I am not the guy to rush out and see his new movie. But this was one of the best films I have ever seen. Most definitely the best this year to date.

It is hard to describe this movie without giving away much. Karen Effiel is an author writing her latest novel about an isolated man named Harold Crick. What she doesn't know is that her fictionalized character is real. The real Harold Crick is an IRS agent who has lived a dull existence and one day begins to hear Karen's voice as she narrates what she puts on paper to what Harold has and is doing. Because of this Harold enlists the help of a literary professor to find out what is happening and ends up changing things about his life including beginning a relationship with his IRS client, a government-hating bakery owner named Ana Pascal. Harold, however, finds trouble when he hears that Karen plans to kill him. This movie has deep meaning and a powerful message, and it is just dang good. Watch it ASAP.

I can't believe we are friends! You are the only person I know that doesn't love him. I still love you. I will always love you. Don't hate me.
