As you can tell this is Will Ferrell but not how you usually see him. His is a comedy but is a little more serious than his usual movies ( Blades of glory, Anchorman, Step Brothers ect) For those of you that haven't seen this movie it is about an IRS auditor called Harold Crick ( Will Ferrell) that is very OCD with his day to day routine. Until he starts hearing someone narrating his life of which no one else can hear.
It came out 6 years ago now and is still one of my all time Will Ferrell films, it shows him in a new light which most people hadn't seen before this movie. He is a lot calmer but does not for one second loose his funny side because of it. He is joined by other well known actors and actresses for example Dustin Hoffman ( The story of a murdered, Hook, Toosie, The Graduate and Rainman) , Emma Thompson ( Love actually, The boat that rocked and Nanny McPhee) and Maggie Gyllenhaal ( Donnie Darko, The Dark knight and 40 days and 40 night) all of whom play very convincing roles within the film. It is completely set in Chicago which I like as sometimes when they decide to film all over the place and it is just meant to be in one place, it can be rather obvious at time. It is Directed by Marc Forster who I have mentioned in a previous blog as he is directing WWZ which is to be released next year.
When I was watching it with my other half he made it known to me that if the book that was been written in the film was in fact real it would be a really rubbish book. ( which made me giggle) but it is everything else in the movie that makes this film so good and I strongly advise people that haven't seen it to watch it.
