Stranger Than Fiction

Here are five reasons I love the movie Stranger Than Fiction:

• Will Ferrell isn't obnoxious in it, like he is in every other movie he's in. You actually forget you're watching Will Ferrell, which is a miracle nigh unto waking up in the morning with pleasant breath.
• The story is beyond creative: A guy hears his life being narrated by an author who's writing her next book and who notoriously kills off her protagonists. What will he do when he hears her say he has to die?
• It makes you want to eat cookies.
• Emma Thompson doesn't wear any make-up at all in the movie. Revlon and Maybelline -- eat that!
• It has Buster from Arrested Development.
