I’m not a fan of Will Ferrell movies. I’m actually not a fan of comedies, period. So when I found out that I was going to be dragged to the new Will Ferrell movie, I went with a sad face. At least I had heard it was good. He was after all acting in a more serious role. This wasn’t Saturday Night Live<\/i>. Emma Thompson can save it. Actually, Emma Thompson rocked in the movie.
\nI was pleasantly surprised.
\nI love it when comedians can act. Will Ferrell is no exception. As Harold Crick he’s so muted and dull, it’s perfect. By the end of the movie I was really caring about whether he would make it out alive. He is after all a figment of Emma Thompson’s imagination. Or is he?
\nThompson is used sparingly, but her scenes are hilarious. In every book her character has ever written she’s killed the protagonist. This time she’s having trouble coming up with a suitable death scene, so she keeps imagining all these different situations and places herself in them. The outcome is ingenious.
\nThis was a nice movie. A keeper? Don’t know yet. I definitely recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
