Storyline
Everybody knows that your life is a story. But what if a story was your life? Harold Crick is your average IRS agent: monotonous, boring, and repetitive. But one day this all changes when Harold begins to hear an author inside his head narrating his life. The narrator it is extraordinarily accurate, and Harold recognizes the voice as an esteemed author he saw on TV. But when the narration reveals that he is going to die, Harold must find the author of the story, and ultimately his life, to convince her to change the ending of the story before it is too late.

Trivia
When Harold Crick sits down on the bus in which he meets Ana Pascal, a building with the word "Drury" can be seen on a sign in the background (on the front wall of the bus). Drury Lane is where the Muffin Man in the popular nursery rhyme lived. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Harold tells Ana that she can deduct the bread she gives away to the homeless as charitable contributions on her tax return, which is not true. In order to qualify as a charitable contribution, the property (in this case, the bread) must be given to a qualified charitable organization and be properly documented. Simply giving away food to the homeless is not enough, as there would be no way to prove that she actually gave the bread away. See more »Quotes
