Columbia Pictures and Mandate Pictures' "Stranger Than Fiction" is an inventive comedy about a novelist (Emma Thompson) struggling to complete her latest, and potentially finest, book — she only has to find a way to kill off her main character, Harold Crick, and she'll be done. Little does she know that Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is inexplicably alive and well in the real world and suddenly aware of her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears what she has in mind and realizes he must find a way to change her (and his) ending.

MOVIE REVIEW

Stranger than Fiction is Will Ferrell's latest attempt to move beyond mundane comedy where he shouts otherwise ordinary statements to make audiences laugh to a realm where comedy is a bit more sophisticated. The result is a well-acted, well-done picture that just never completely delivers the laughs.
