I can't recommend rushing out and seeing it but it's certainly better than a lot of movies i watch. Whether that says more about the movies i inevitably end up watching than the quality of this film i don't know.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-8013959207845546682011-09-28T23:49:25.945+08:002011-09-28T23:49:25.945+08:00Stranger than Fiction is easily my favorite Will F...Stranger than Fiction is easily my favorite Will Ferrell movie, but I have seen many comments about Everything Must Go saying it's no Stranger than Fiction. I hadn't been planning on seeing it.

Pleasant enough movie with solid performances all-around but overall, it has that indie "life vignette" quality that makes it a bit bland and forgettable.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-86569685134839076882011-09-08T08:19:05.418+08:002011-09-08T08:19:05.418+08:00rodney - good to see you again. i think you've...rodney - good to see you again. i think you've got the right idea. see it, but don't pay more that bare minimum for it.<br /><br />although i had this almost overwhelming urge to watch it again last night. i guess it's just kind of sitting there in my mind demanding more attention. i may not give in to it though.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-87861095840942613932011-09-07T15:05:53.974+08:002011-09-07T15:05:53.974+08:00A film described as "safe" is perhaps on...A film described as "safe" is perhaps one to be wary of. I hate Ferrell's outlandish comedies, while his turn in Stranger Than Fiction was excellent ("restraint" indeed, such a perfect word for that film) so I approach any film he's in with a level of caution. Good to hear this is not a bad film by any stretch, but I guess it's disappointing to hear it's not that terrific either. Will probably give it a shot on BluRay on a cheap day.Rodneyhttp://www.fernbyfilms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-17501056899686444452011-09-07T09:14:51.031+08:002011-09-07T09:14:51.031+08:00vik - absolutely. i always forget about PDL, my se...vik - absolutely. i always forget about PDL, my second favourite PTA movie too.

I've been curious about it even though I'm generally not a Ferrell fan. I did like him in Stranger than Fiction and the trailer reminds me a bit of his performance in there.

I personally love STRANGER THAN FICTION too, but it is more for Emma Thompson's performance than Will Ferrell's.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-67037175561813574772011-09-07T02:44:31.656+08:002011-09-07T02:44:31.656+08:00I'm surprised, I have had an aversion towards ...I'm surprised, I have had an aversion towards Will Ferrel from what I've seen of him.
