Trivia:
The watch featured in the movie is a Timex Men's Watch #T56371 - Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Dual Tech, though in the film, the watches LCD display is CG enhanced to present clearer graphics. The actual watch is a simple 9 segment per character LCD alphanumeric mode display with three lines and some special-indicators. moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Near the beginning, Ms. Eifel dictates "When asked by a co-worker for the product of 67 and 453, Harold drew a blank. He quickly answered 30,351 despite the answer really being 31,305." The product of 67 and 453 actually is 30,351. This was meant to get viewers to question who was dictating Harold's life. Was it the narrator or Harold himself? It wouldn't be a coincidence that the "incorrect" number given by Harold would in fact be the correct answer. moreQuotes:
Ana Pascal: [as their walking with Harold carrying the box of color flagged bags of flour] So did you make a key?Harold Crick: Uh no I just committed it to memory. The blue, that-that's barley flour.
Ana Pascal: What's that one?
Harold Crick: The orange?
Ana Pascal: Yeah.
Harold Crick: I forget.
[Ana laughs, and they stop in front of a building]
Ana Pascal: Right here.
Harold Crick: [he looks up at the building] Oh.
Ana Pascal: Do you wanna come up?

Saw it at The Toronto International Film Festival and it was well done. Original storyline, fantastic performance from Ferrel, Thompson and Hoffman. The most moving performance from Will Ferrel I have ever seen is within this film. The storyline some may believe to be too far fetched at first to take seriously, but in the end it does work. What makes the film work the most are the brilliant performances from Ferrel and Thompson. Without these two- the film couldn't have been pulled off! I recommend this flick to anyone looking to laugh and cry and then laugh again. It was a truly brilliant film. 10/10 (Hoffman and Ferrel were too kind to shake hands and greet the fans inside the screening as well.)
