Just don't go in expecting a typical Will Ferrell comedy. Heck, don't go in expecting any comedy at all, although there's several great funny scenes. The part where he finds out he is going to die (don't worry, its not a plot spoiler, it h... read more

It's strange alright. It's been a few hours since I've watched it and I still can't figure out what to make of it (not as in confusion, just unsure how it made me feel). It's not that I didn't enjoy it but I think a part of me feels that not only was it pointless but at times that it was almost silly. In saying that, I'd still recommend it.

"Stranger Side A funny little heart in a funny little box, Never take it out 'cos it might get dropped, Bottle up and hide tell a little lie, If you must, if you must , See the crooked man try and walk a crooked mile, See the crooked lady with her crooked little smile, They see us as they pass and they don't know what they make of us, To make of us. 'Cos you and I, you and I, you and I, We see a stranger side of things, You and I, you and I, you and I, We dream a stranger kind"

50 Most Depressing Happy Endings (51 movies items)

"The Happy Ending: Harold (Will Ferrell) saves a boy from being mowed down by a bus and ends up in hospital – but he doesn’t die as his narrator Karen (Emma Thompson) had predicted. The Depressing Implications: Harold survived, hurrah! But he’s still a character in a book whose entire life is predetermined by an author. Not exactly the happiest of endings, then…"
