I just finished watching a Netflix DVD of "Stranger than Fiction" and would highly recommend it. I don't want to say very much about it for fear of spoilers. All I'll say is that it is a quirky movie that will especially appeal to authors and people who are into literature. It plays fast and loose with the fourth wall, and not only is the phrase "third person omniscient" actually used in the movie, a plot point actually hinges on it.

The main character is played by Will Farrell. Other actors in prominent roles are Emma Thompson, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Queen Latifah.

Joy,
Lynn
