Stranger Than Fiction
I didn’t realise until last night just how much Emma Thompson looks like Hugh Grant.
Supremely confident in my celeb looky-likey spotting skills, I ran the photo to the right through My Heritage for scientific proof. It however, thinks she looks like Sugar Ray Leonard (62%), Buzz Aldrin (58%) and Vin Diesel (56%). Oh well.
So the film, Stranger Than Fiction then…
If you’re expecting a Will Ferrell movie that contains gratuatious tits. This isn’t it (sadly).
It’s basically Will Ferrell’s attempt at a Truman Show style film. Except he’s trapped in a book about his life. Ferrell’s not exactly got great acting skills and can’t quite pull it off. Saying that, it’s still a reasonable watch. More due to Maggie Gyllenhaal though - because she is just soooo incredibly cute. Gooood morrrrrrnin’.
Oh, and without giving anything away… if Eiffel’s books were real, they would have possibly the crappest most dull endings…
7/10.

Again another spot on review that sums up what the film was about and how good it was in about a tenth of the words I would have used.
Now that you say it Emma Thompson does look scarily like hugh grant…I have a sudden urge to punch her in her smug arogant posh tofty face.
I have to admit that her books did seem a touch on the dull side, I can just picture comic book guy from the simpsons “worst ending ever!”
But like you said, Maggie Gyllenhaal…mmmmmmm nice! I’ve always rather liked her.
