Stranger Than Fiction
Harold Creek lives alone in a routine life, with one friend, Karen Evel, watching a television talk of her - known to kill the heroes of her novels in all her work - and he remains certain that he will arrive in a day and that his life is connected to her. And the dramatic events that will come up to it and the ridiculous positions that will be met throughout the film.

Touching dramedy is heavy; won't interest most kids.

Suggests how cleverness can suffocate people

"Stranger Than Fiction" is a sterile and pedantic comedy that tells much more than it shows.

Intriguing possibilities, except Helm and Forster aren't quite Kaufman and Jonze. Once their parallel narratives converge, those hoping for a mind-bending meta-pile-up may feel the movie lacks the courage of its fatalistic fiction.

Inventively inverting "Adaptation.'s'" anxiety into light romance, "Fiction" is one of the most intelligent, lively, charming and beguiling concept comedies since "Groundhog Day" and a perfect seriocomic splinter of Will Ferrell's big-baby shtick.

Stranger Than Fiction seems like an old episode of the Twilight Zone, and the idea would have worked better as one of Rod Serling's half-hour epistles on human foibles.

"It's not the best piece of English literature of the last ten years," Dustin Hoffman says of Emma Thompson's newest novel, "but it's not bad." That just about sums up Stranger Than Fiction, too.

The actors and the filmmakers all take a more restrained approach than you might expect, keeping the humor gentle, and the jokes mostly as literary as the premise.

Stranger Than Fiction is both about a novel and like a novel; you eagerly await the turning of the pages.

It doesn't coast on its premise but follows where it leads, which is into some serious territory. What might have been a joke with a tagged-on sentimental ending becomes instead a sensitive movie that affirms the value of life.

A film well worth seeing and savoring.

An uncommonly plastic bit of Hallmark sentiment-mongering, with exactly the kind of New Age psychobabble ending youâ(TM)d expect.
