Another one of my favourite films. It's about Will Ferrell's character, Harold Crick, who is a very by-the-book IRS auditor who suddenly starts hearing the narration of his life as he goes about his day. Then he falls in love with one of his free-spirited auditees, Ana Pascal (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal). Then he hears the voice narrate that he is to die imminently and so he is set on a mission to prevent this and that's pretty much it.
Of course, there is a food aspect to the film - Maggie Gyllenhaal's character runs a little indie bakery and makes some yummy sounding sweets.
I love Will Ferrell's awkward acting in this film and some excellent lines from Emma Thompson. Go watch!
