MOVIE: Stranger Than Fiction
NUTSHELL: A lonely I.R.S. auditor hears an author who is narrating his life announce his imminent death.
GOOD THINGS: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Will Ferrell, Tony Hale, a sweet fluffy script
BAD THINGS: A feral Emma Thompson spitting into napkins? WTF?
FEATURES: Queen Latifah, Monty Python, Tom Hulce, Kristin Chenoweth on Book Talk (?!)
UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS: Dustin Hoffman always makes me nervous. I don’t know; HE JUST DOES!
NOTABLE: You gotta love filmmakers who make a film where the message that art is not very important in the larger scheme of things is directly stated instead of being a sad byproduct of the film’s poor quality.
BEST PART: Will Ferrell’s performance is I guess what I remember most about this movie.
BEST LINE: King of the lanes?
CROWNS: 4 out of 5
