tragedy is more profound than comedy, the film argues....the movie is actually hysterically funny as it plays out its highbrow ideas in amusing cinematic terms.....This amusing effort is one of the best films of 2006, a surreal comedy about the intersection between art and reality, fact and fiction.....created can co-exist, without ever succumbing to mere whimsy that would render the story a simple spoof rather than a heartfelt drama.....Instead, STRANGER THAN FICTION delivers as a wonderfully romantic come ...

I can't believe someone would consider it a good movie.
Let's hope that Forster does a good job!

If all this seems slightly too cute, too quirky, too much like the Charlie Kaufman-penned films of recent years, that's because it is.....and, although it doesn't entirely deliver on its promises, it also doesn't entirely disappoint..... ... Full Review
