I really enjoy the move Stranger than Fiction.  I can’t explain why, but I’ve watched it three times, so there is something that draws me back.  I like the humor and I like movies in which people reflect on their lives and affect change – in a good way. 

I also love the idea of someone narrating your life?  I need this.  The best illustration is in the scene where Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is on the bus and meets Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal), he is successfully engaging Ms. Pascal when he hears the narrator remind him that the longer he stays, the greater chance he will make a fool of himself.  We all need that voice to remind us when to keep quiet and/or leave (although I’m sure I would have plenty of volunteers – might be a fun exercise).

My favorite line is when Harold is trying to describe what is happening and he states “it’s like I’m a character in my own life”. 

Please note that not everyone enjoys the movie… I live with a very beautiful woman who doesn’t share my appreciation for it, but she let me buy it just the same.  Must be love.
