Go see it.  Period.  Don’t argue.  Don’t balk at the cost of a ticket.  GO.

I saw this on Saturday and was REALLY impressed.  Not Oscar material, but then what good movies are these days?  But good.  The visual design of the opening sequences were outstanding.  I guarantee that styling will pop up in a commercial or few very soon.  And I find that this sequence can often be pretty telling about how much I’ll like the movie.

I’m not a huge Will Ferrell fan, but he was good.  None of his over the top BS that people refer to as comedy.  I guess Stranger than Fiction is to Will Ferrell as Truman Show was to Jim Carrey.  I wasn’t really familiar with Maggie Gyllenhal, though now I’ll definitely keep an eye out for her.

I got a kick out of the plot from the time I saw the preview.  And I wasn’t disappointed.  I also didn’t feel like the preview gave too much away, which they tend to do these days.  And I smiled through the whole movie.
