Stranger than Fiction

Plot

Harold Crick is an IRS auditor whose life's about to change. The movie begins showing the precisely calculated and boring life of Harold as narrated by a voice.
Harold soon begins to notice the voice and worries himself when he listens to the voice say "little did he know that this simple, seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death" after he resets his watch in a bus stop.
His worries take him to consult first a psychiatrist and then a literature expert.
The plot develops into a romance between Harold and the bakery owner he is auditing.
In my opinion, as one of the characters states towards the end, 'the ending is ok'.

Infographics

The movie features really impressive animated 3d information graphics that contribute to show the vision of life in Harold's mind and how this vision evolves while the plot develops.
