STRANGER THAN FICTION (2006)

Cast

Plot

Harold Crick is a lonely, anal and routine bound tax man, but gee, when it rains for Harold it sure does pour. First he becomes smitten with one of his reluctant clients and then he discovers that he's a fictional character, in reclusive author Karen Eiffel's new novel, and she's struggling to find a satisfactory way to kill him off. Harold's going to have to get seriously proactive, like getting a life, rescue it from tragedy, then find the author and plead his case pretty damn quick or else all his new found freedom is going to be like spittle on the griddle, gone in a puff of steam. 'Stranger Than Fiction' is an enjoyable and intelligent flick from the existential comedy genre so lovingly created by Charlie Kaufman who has brought us those other works of genius ‘Being John Malkovich', ‘Adaptation' and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.
