stranger than fiction

Last night I saw the latest Will Farrell movie Stranger Than Fiction and I liked what I saw. His performance was on the other end of the spectrum from what he did in Talladega Nights, but that was fine with me. Overt slapstick has never been a favorite of mine and I liked the fact that literary theory played a strong role in the story. Yes, the movie made some serious comments about what makes a good book and in my opinion that made for a better movie. I like when I am asked to think about something rather than just being shown something to make me laugh. As to what the average viewer took away from these literature lessons is beyond me.
