Genre: Comedy / Drama / Fantasy / Romance


Plot Outline: Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) is an Inland Revenue Service Agent whose world is turned upside-down when he begins to hear his life being chronicled by a narrator only he can hear. The Narrator, Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson), a nearly-forgotten author of tragic novels, is struggling to complete her latest and best book, unaware that her protagonist is alive and uncontrollably guided by her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears the Narrator say that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death. Desperate to escape his fate, Harold seeks help from eccentric English professor Dr Jules Hilbert (Dustin Hoffman) and finds unexpected comfort in a burgeoning romance with a defiant audit subject, Ana Pascal (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Unluckily for Harold, Kay's impatient publishers have unleashed a stern assistant named Penny Escher (Queen Latifah) to help the author finish her book and finish off Harold Crick.


Line: "This is a story about a man named Harold Crick... "

Oh god, if I saw this trailer in the theatres I probably would've done the same. LOL. I've never seen him on the big screen before. And it doesn't seem like his role in this movie isn't that big, but least its something! heh

Uh, I think the previews are kind of misleading. It's a drama/comedy... more like a quirky drama with some funny moments. Comedy or not, I really enjoyed it. I love Will Ferrell.

^ Yes! I agree. I thought it was a very sweet movie. especially the little love story in it. Will Ferrell did a great job. I wasn't disappointed at all with his performance. Maggie Gyllenhaal is so funny and adorable in this ficcie. She makes me want to open up my own bakery. laugh.gif

I agree with VersusVillain...the trailers that were promoting this movie portrayed it as a movie based solely on comedy. In reality, it's a movie that concentrates more on the drama of one (unfortunate) man's life with some clever and witty humor here and there.

In my opinion, it's not "extremely" funny but it's funny enough so as to not distract you from the storyline. Overall, I think it was a pretty good movie though I thought the ending seemed like it was "modified" so that it could fit into the Hollywood "happily ever after" type of endings.
