Strange fiction indeed

Since I'm trusting on luck yesterday a mate and myself went to see a movie based on the title alone. Originally it wasn't the idea, but all the movies we did want to see weren't starting anywhere soon, so we decided to go for the movie 'Stranger Than Fiction'. Even as we were buying the tickets we had to ask 'what genre is this, exactly?'

Comedy, the girl behind the counter told us.

We were surprised that she actually knew her movies. Turned out she didn't, not really, because Stranger Than Fiction is a great deal more than just a comedy.

To start with, it's actually good. Especially if you're not expecting this type of movie. There were some fantastic visuals at the beginning of the movie (excellent visual representations of thought). It is also deep, absurd and well written.

Suffice it to say that it's like accessible Charlie Kaufman. Catch it, if you can and don't read any other reviews about it than this one. Trust me, it makes it far more entertaining.
