After reading a few lackluster descriptions of Stranger Than Fiction, I thought that nothing could persuade me to view the film. Enter Roger Ebert, whose skillful review put the Marc Forster work back on my radar. I am very happy that Ebert has recovered sufficiently to write criticism. I lament that critics have lost sway, for their erudite navigation of complex subjects has been replaced by a million anonymous one-line assessments: 1t sukk3d, dud3.
