Movie Haiku:Great Stone Face (aka Rich) admits to being charmed in spite of himself by this warm existential comedy about an IRS man (Ferrell) who discovers he''s become the main character in a soon-to-be completed novel. Wondering if his fate will be tragic or comic, he turns to a literature professor (Hoffman) for advice. Jan loved it, & predicts film will change Gyllenhaal''s career forever.
