One day he uncovers the truth that he's actually living in novel where the writer always kills the main character off in a horrible way. The movie is a journey to try and save his life before his early and horrific death takes place.

My Rating: 5 Stars!
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time! I have to be honest I wasn't looking forward to it since the last several Will Ferrell movies I haven't enjoyed, but this was just great. I laughed thru the entire movie and actually paused it when stepping away for a moment because I didn't want to miss a thing. My husband, a HUGE Will Ferrell fan, said he thought it was one of his best performances as well.

Who would I recommend it to? It's a great date movie, so I would definitely say couples, families with older children, and of course an individual who wants a good laugh.

Would I rent this again? Absolutely! I might even end up buying it because I know it's a film I could watch time and time again.
