Stranger than Fiction
Sunday, March 18, 2007
Starts off interesting but quickly falls away into a sloppy sentimental love story with predictable plot arcs and dialogue that feigns intellect; the book - the subject of the film - sounds and feels like those discount romance novels you pick up at service stations. I had high hopes for this after the first ten minutes, but after an hour it felt like that appalling Sarah Michelle Gellar film "Simply Irresistible" but with less magic and fairy dust. In fact, with each second this film grows exponentially worse and it concludes in the most soppy and pathetic manner possible, betraying the morals and storytelling prowess the film writers tell themselves just moments beforehand. Gah.
But I'm sure your girlfriends would love it.
