Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

Well-acted and directed, but it handles an intriguing concept in a very shortsighted way - it never really makes sense and the film doesn't milk it for half of its comedic or dramatic potential, and it almost seems to forget about it for a good stretch in the middle. A writer is, essentially, God, and yet the dramatic stakes come down to whether her next book is quite as good as the last one.
Rating: Bad
