Will Ferrell plays Harold Crick, an IRS Agent whose world is turned upside-down when he begins to hear his life being chronicled by a narrator only he can hear. The Narrator, Kay Eiffel, a nearly forgotten author of tragic novels, is struggling to complete her latest and best book, unaware that her protagonist is alive and uncontrollably guided by her words. Fiction and reality collide when the bewildered and hilariously resistant Harold hears the Narrator say that events have been set in motion that will lead to his imminent death.
Desperate to escape his fate, Harold seeks help from eccentric English professor Dr. Jules Hilbert and finds unexpected comfort in a burgeoning romance with a defiant audit subject, Ana Pascal. Unluckily for Harold, Kay's impatient publishers have unleashed a stern assistant named Penny Escher to help the author finish her book and finish off Harold Crick.

This movie actually makes me wonder, haven't we all imagined that our lives were actually stories? Dramatized by additional background music and sound effects that suit every mood and occasion felt by each character, or a predictable pattern of conflicts and resolvements?
I know I have always worried if my life were a story, would I want to read it? If my life were a tv show, would I watch it? What kind of music would be my soundtrack? Would it end on a happy note?
I know it's cliched and whatnot, but I guess it IS true what they say about us writing our own stories.
If my life were a book, I'd read it, even though it's still unwritten. TV show, considering the amount of silly things I do each day... yeah :D All genres of music would be my soundtrack and I've yet to reach a happy ending.
Wish me luck :)
