Stranger Than Fiction (Marc Forster, 2006)

Much of the humor in Stranger Than Fiction comes from writer Zach Helm’s very creative premise – that of a man, Harold Crick (Will Ferrell), who starts to hear the narration of his own life by bitter, creatively blocked writer Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson). The ways this affect his life as a I.R.S. auditor and the way his relationship of bakery-owner Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal) are immensely entertaining and frequently quite funny.
