Stranger Than Fiction

The World Premiere of Stranger Than Fiction was a treat to see in "the beautiful and historic" Elgin Theatre on Saturday night. Director Marc Forster introduced the film and stars Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman strode down the red carpet inside the Elgin lobby and stayed to watched the film with the audience.

Ivana scored great photos of the stars on the red carpet and Dustin Hoffman was particularly gracious stopping to shake hands and speak to people, even signing an autograph as he pulled away in the limo. Emma looked lovely and Will Ferrell hammed it up onstage before the screening. Director Marc Forster (who did Monster's Ball and Finding Neverland) was a sweetheart onstage and off.

The film was an absolute delight. A beautifully written script and superlative performances made for a laugh-out-loud experience, my best at the fest so far. See this film when it comes to theatres in November - a funny, heartwarming movie. MMMMM
