Ferrell’s talent isn’t fictional

When ""Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"" was in theaters, Kate Winslet compared Charlie Kaufman to Shakespeare and repeatedly referred to him as the greatest writer of our generation. After only a handful of films, not only has Kaufman reinvented the meta-movie; with ""Being John Malkovich,"" ""Adaptation"" and ""Eternal Sunshine"" (ignore ""Human Nature""), he's been responsible for three of the weirdest, and best, movies ever made. If you doubt his enormous talent in the slightest, watch what happens when others try and mimic his inimitable style. First we had ""Eternal Sunshine"" director Michel Gondry's ""The Science of Sleep,"" which was equal parts eccentric and irritating, and now we've got Marc Forster's ""Stranger Than Fiction,"" a somewhat engaging existential romp that, despite a wonderful central performance from Will Ferrell, never quite manages to come together.
