I was pleasantly surprised at the story and direction by Mr Stiller. There were plenty of laughs and kept me entertained all the way through. It was definitely worth seeing in theatres.
During the first few minutes of the movie, I wasn't sure I would be able to sit through it. But as it progressed, it kind of grew on me and I ended up really enjoying it.
Despite brand placements tied directly to the plot, Walter Mitty was a very good movie and grew on me as it progressed. Worth a watch for the beautiful visuals, unique story and heartwarming message.
It was amusing, but not funny as in continuous laughs. I was very taken, though, by the gorgeous settings in the film. They added a realistic quality to Mitty's imagination. The soundtrack was terrific, too.
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this movie. The first few minutes of the movie I felt went a bit slow but it picked up. Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig worked well together and didn't disappoint. It was a much better film than my impression of it was just from the trailers. I would definitely recommend seeing it.
Not a big fan of Stiller, but the role suited him. Plot was well-written. Highly recommended!
Thoroughly enjoyable, a "late" coming of age movie that will take you on a fun ride where daydreaming can hold you back or make you fly.
This movie was entertaining, but my husband and I found it was slow in places. the cinematography of Iceland and Greenland was spectacular and the soundtrack was pretty good. The action shots were obviously computer generated;we thought these were quite lame. Acting was okay. We appreciate the free passes, but we would have been disappointed if we had to have paid full price.
"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" was a great escape into the world of an ordinary man's mind. The movie is quirky and original, with Ben Stiller doing an excellent job portraying his role. At first I thought the movie might have a few too many 'dream sequences', it quickly became a real adventure, with beautiful scenery around the world. Kristen Wiig is charming and sweet as the unrequited love interest. Overall it's exciting, funny, and heart-warming all in one.
Love Ben stiller!!! The movie was creative! Well written, well directed and the actors were natural and funny! Looks like it was a fun movie to shoot. :)
