Must see Cinema: "Stranger Than Fiction"
Karen Eiffel is an author writing her latest novel about an isolated man named Harold Crick.
What she doesn't know is that her fictionalized character is real.
The real Harold Crick is an IRS agent who has lived a dull existence.
One day he begins to hear Karen's voice as she narrates what she puts on paper to what Harold has and is doing.
Because of this Harold enlists the help of a literary professor to find out what is happening.
He ends up changing things about his life,
including beginning a relationship with his IRS client, a government-hating bakery owner named Ana Pascal.
Harold, however, finds trouble when he hears that Karen plans to kill him.
