This film was a masterpiece in my eyes. Hands down my number one pick of 2006. And this is not the first time a Marc Forster film has graced number one on my list. His previous effort, “Finding Neverland” was a big hit in my heart as well. With that being said, it’s pretty obvious this guy is my new favorite director. He makes films that could possibly be a disaster or boring, to an uplifting, inspirational story that leaves you with a peaceful demeanor. So why is it my number one movie of last year? Each character is written to perfection in this film and it gels together so well. Will Ferrell plays a loving character in this drama and he shines. Emma Thompson is an English novelist who is very strange and smokes a lot of cigarettes trying to figure out how to kill off her character who just happens to be real. Dustin Hoffman plays the quirky professor in the film that helps Harold Crick (Ferrell) figure out who the novelist is. Lastly, the film has a great quote that ties up the whole movie, “A man who goes to die willingly, isn’t that the kind of guy worth saving?”
