Stranger Than Fiction Ratings & Reviews
- johnmartinryanDecember 9, 2025Will Ferrell’s best movie. I will die on this hill. The writing is abstract, but feels REAL the whole time, while being an obvious work of fiction. Will puts on the acting performance of his career in this production. This movie walked so that, “the secret life of Walter Mitty” could run!
- carmen.s29January 15, 2026This movie surprised me, even though there is a foreshadowing tell in the very first dialog of the movie. I found it, well written, along with good character building and dialog. The story seems to move smoothly with well-timed twists that kept me engaged. I also like some of the underlying messages in the overall theme of the move.
