Didn't see a thread for this movie and I just saw the trailer recently. It looks like it's going to be a great comedy, and it's also a somewhat different role for Ferrell...a little more serious.

Thoughts?

Oh gosh - I thought we did have a thread for this film, but our Search Feature isn't working right now...

Oh well - we can merge the threads later if the need arises. In the meantime, thanks for the thread!

No problem. I searched and didn't see one recently, so I thought I would start a new one. Anyways, have you gone into the movie's website at all? It's pretty cool...Emma Thompson actually narrates your visit, so depending on what you click on or don't she makes different comments. It's pretty funny.

This looks very interesting. Sometimes Will Ferrell can be a little "much" for me. However, this role seems more mellow and quirky so I am really looking forward to it.

I'll compare this entire situation to Jim Carrey. I'm not a fan of his. He has his moments but he's too over the top for me. However, Eternal Sunshine was a good quirky movie that he did a nice job with. I kind of see that as similar to how Will Ferrell will be with "Stranger Than Fiction." I'm excited

That's actually a pretty good assessment! I like the comparison with Carrey. Even though I have liked Ferrell's films before this, I think that this will be a refreshing change for him, and it should also put him in a different light in terms of critics and the Hollywood arena.

This is probably one of the best films I've seen all year. Will Farrell really surprised me! Speaking of Jim Carrey there was a preview for his film Number 23 during the previews for Stranger Than Fiction... It's looks creepy! None of the quirkiness of Eternal Sunshine there... Straight thriller/horror film even.

I saw this one a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. Will Ferrell definitely surprised and impressed me. Maggie Gyllenhal was fabulous. I thought it was good, quirky fun....really well done.

Still haven't seen this one yet. Everyone I know who's seen it absolutely hates it, but I love the cast. Is it worth a look?

You should totally give it a try!

It is a very ambitious script but the film does it justice beautifully! The performances are gorgeous, the dialogue smart. I'd recommend it in heartbeat.

How were the extras?

I thought this movie was great. It exceeded my expectations.

I love this movie. It is definitely one of my favorites.

I recently made my sister and brother-in-law watch it. They both loved it as well.

Which is surprising because my brother-in-law basically only watches The Blue Collar Comedy Tour and South Park.
