Stranger Than Fiction (2006)




Will Ferrell is a fictional character in a novel who is going to die as soon as the author figures out how to kill him. He realizes his time short, so during his final days, he learns to play the guitar, falls in love with political activist baker, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and eats a freshly baked cookie for the first time. Talk about a bucket list! 

What's on your bucket list?

  2. I thought Stranger Than Fiction was a corker idea but the execution fell short. Still, another fun and unexpected prop choice! You're strumming on all chords with this one!

    1. I agree, the idea was great. But I think they pulled it off. Ferrell's character was so endearing that I was rooting for him all the way through. The guitar scenes were my favorite, as well as the eating the cookie scene and the box of flours.

  3. That is absolutely my favorite scene in Stranger Than Fiction. That and the scene where he actually picks out the guitar.

    Happy A through Z posting!

    1. This is one of my favorite films. Will Ferrell's characters are often so obnoxious, but in this one he is sweet and adorable. I've seen it many times. I love the idea of going after your dreams.
