Stranger than Fiction
Well, I once said that I didn't think Will Ferrell was funny enough to carry a movie to great heights all on his own (Bewitched, Talladega Nights) and that he was best used in smaller-mid sized roles (Austin Powers, Old School), but I now stand corrected. All he ever needed was a decent writer and he can carry a film on his own just fine. Stranger than Fiction was much less "in your face funny" and it seemed to work out better all around. Refreshingly original and clever plot, great acting and directing. It's funny when it should be, but also gets serious when neccesary. All around a really, really solid, enjoyable film. Probably Will Ferrell's best work. Not neccesarily his funniest, but almost definately his best.
