Not as funny as I wanted, but really good

I really, genuinely like this movie. Will Ferrell was actually good, Maggie Gyllenhaal was hot and the plot was surprising all the way through. Emma Thompson's narration was great and in the end helped me feel more for Harold Crick. Overall, this was a mildly funny movie but a very good one. The laughs didn't come out constantly but it was, dare I say, "cute" but in a refreshing way. It reminded me of "Lemonly Snickets and a Series of Unfortunate Events" in the way the story unraveled and it was interesting even though it didn't spark as much laughter as a "Knocked-up" or "Borat".
Take a look it is a movie that is different and refreshing.
