STRANGER THAN FICTION (Theatrical Release USA 2006)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

 

Stranger Than Fiction—creative, fresh—accesses the acting talents of Will Farrell and Emma Thompson to tell its story. Add Maggie Gyllenhaal and guest star Dustin Hoffman and you’ve got cake with frosting. When Queen Latifah shows up, it’s flare on the cake’s candles. It’s a little piece of WOW entertainment that would be easy to miss. Just watch it. It’s fun entertainment with a terrific storyline.
