Reviews

For the Win (USA Today)

Cory Woodroof

While Ferrell is primarily known for his comedic chops, his performance as a man trying to figure out if his fate is connected to the words of an author in the dramedy Stranger Than Fiction is one of his best.

The ending may be mush, but the rest has surprising bite.

Bowling Green Daily News

Micheal Compton

Helm's strong script is aided by superb direction from Marc Forster and a top-notch cast.

The manic spirit of Preston Sturges has a hold of this voyage of self-discovery that's packed with laughs and brilliant performances. Thompson in particular hasn't been this inspired for a long time.

There just isn't enough wit or style or verve to pull it off. It takes a great premise and then not only fails to run with it, but also fails to go absolutely anywhere with it at all.
