Will is just perfect as Harold. Wishing he could do more of this type....... Dustin Hoffman's bit part sparkles as well. As the frantic author Emma is tops one more time. The romantic side with the flours is so unexpected, but not corney like you expect from him which makes it so pleasant to watch----over and over.

While the movie has a cool concept, fun acting, and interesting premise, it comes down to a dissatisfactory climax, which in the end, made it waste its own time.

Someone once told me that while not all dramatic actors can do comedy, all comedic actors can do drama. This is a great example, as Will Farrell shows true depth and creates a very compelling character. Meanwhile the supporting roles were wonderfully cast and really rounded out a moving, feel-good flick.
