Stranger Than Fiction is worth seeing, if for no better reason than to see a reality that could only exist in fiction, where an omniscient narrator meets one of her characters. It raises, but does not explore, some of the same existential issues as (the much better) I Heart Huckabees. A tragic ending would have been simple and perfect. By the way, isn't it ironic that imaginary characters can achieve what we cannot; namely, immortality?
