Uplifting movie. Made you want to "live" life. Great cinematography.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

This movie was beautiful and inspiring. The acting was great and the story was so powerful. It had a great sense of humour added as well. This film has moved me to new heights and has shown the wonders of discovery!

I am not a big Ben Stiller fan, but I really enjoyed him in this movie. The fact that other people always saw him differently than he saw himself was amazing, and really, I did not think they would ever show Frame 25, and when they did, I was blown away. Excellent movie that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good movie.

While I enjoyed the movie, there was too much fantasy in it. Ben Stiller did a great job as a director and actor

User review rating: 3 December 13, 2013

The secret life of Walter Mitty was silly of the wall comedy.Ben Stiller brand of comedy works well in this Hilarious fantasy/zoning out meets reality in these dream sequences of the girl of his dreams who works at the company he works at.

Nice little heartwarming film which definitely could've used a little more work on the dialogue and plot but the cinematography was incredible.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

Ben Stiller was fantastic and he did a great job with one of my favorite stories.

Great movie overall. Not as it was presented in the trailers but that is not a bad thing. Some beautiful scenery of Iceland

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2013

A very ambitious movie that is good but not great due to a few big gaps and gaffes (where do I get a flip phone with upper Himalayas reception!!??!!) I believe the movie could have been 20-22 minutes longer in developing some of the characters and back-story a bit better. Make no mistake, I enjoyed the movie, and it was filmed beautifully, it was a really good effort but it didn't quite make it to being a great movie.

With this new movie it's obvious that Ben Stiller is trying to create his own niche. It's not a comedy or a drama or a romantic comedy or a road movie and his character grows more mature. It's the same structure we saw in Tower Heist. Good for him! Creating a new way of doing things, nowadays, it's no easy enterprise, no matter if you are Ben Stiller. This movie has hilarious moments and deeply reflexive ones. The chemistry between his character and Kristen Wiig's is moving. At the same time, the plot addresses a real, common situation, about media companies getting smaller and letting people go, but it also shows how it is possible to survive that situation. I really enjoyed it.

Ben Stiller as his best! A must see movie of the holiday.

Excellent movie for the season. Great scenery. Enjoy the movie 100%.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

Absolutely wonderful movie! The trailer eludes that it is more of a typical comedy...it is much more than that! It has it's moments where it definitely is funny, but it is also touching! Well done!!

Well written script and a nicely directed movie.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

I was not what I expected going in to the movie. My daughter and I really enjoyed and we will by the DVD/Blu Ray when it comes out. For us to buy the DVD/Blu ray says it all. I do not buy many and only ones that are worth watching over again.

This was a wonderful escape, easy to relate to and very enjoyable. Two thumbs up.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

Personally I loved this movie. Don't fully understand why it is taking such a bashing from film critics. Is it Zoolander? No. Did I expect that heading into the screening based on the trailers? No. The movie is beautifully done. I'd easily recommend it to my family and friends as a movie to see in theatres.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

What an excellent movie! It was hilarious; it was touching; it was sweet; it made me smile with hope. I enjoyed the movie immensely, from the first minute to the very end. I highly recommend it to everyone!

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2013

Not the type of movie I usually go to see and this one did start off slowly but I was soon engrossed in it. Ben Stiller played the part of Walter Mitty in a low key way that suited the part perfectly. I would definitely recommend this movie.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

It is a superb day-dreamer's adventure into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action that take place all over the world.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

This is a great, feel good movie full of fun, laughter, adventure with a wonderful cast. The story is about mild mannered, wall flower, Walter MItty who has worked at LIFE magazine for 16 years and is responsible for all the photo negatives. He is attracted to a coworker, but too shy to actually ask her out. The magazine is being taken over and phased out and Walter can't find the negative that has been designated for the last cover. Then the adventure begins. At the end, we all realize the meaning of LIFE.

un film qui fait du bien à l'âme

Stretch a wide elastic band into an elongated infinity symbol and you will understand the impressive reach of the refreshingly original juxtapositions found in the newly released film, Walter Mitty. From the basement black to the boardroom brown to a seafaring boat and back, the complexity of Walter Mitty is woven in to a colourful and expansive tapestry worth tripping through. Shirley MacLaine took on a cameo role as Walter Mitty’s mother. Check out Kahtryn Hahn aka Odessa. Also, Adam Scott as Ted Hendricks was the surprising breakthrough actor without whom the plot would have remained flavourless, kinda like Walter Mitty’s life. Don’t forget to read James Thurber’s short story too.

C'est un bon film, avec une bonne histoire!

User review rating: 3 December 13, 2013

If you're expecting one of Ben Stiller's great comedy's , this is not one. It does have a few funny moments, but it's a lot deeper & serious roll for him. The scenery is amazing, but I hate to say maybe wait till it comes out & rent it.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - I attended advance screening last night for this surprisingly Unconventional Adventure & realized I was laughing & smiling throughout most of the movie. Wish I could say more, but don't wanna spoil it for you. I LOVED IT. Well Done, Ben Stiller!

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2013

the beginning is pretty hokey, but it gets better pretty quick. Happy endings are the best endings!

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2013

Stiller does well as both the star and director, but his work is frequently outshone by the gorgeous cinematography as Walter Mitty travels the world. From the creative opening credits the interesting visual style draws you in, but like Walter Mitty the movie thrives most when it is travelling the world. Attempts at comedy that feel a bit cartoonish and over the top in the New York offices of Life feel more organic and natural when he ventures abroad. The slower pace of the second half feels out of step with the modern comedies that some will try and peg it as, but feels right out home for the thoughtful piece it grows into. Enjoyable.

Amazing photography and scenery, Stiller is solid in this beautifully done remake of a feel good movie.

I enjoyed the movie, it was slow to start, but then it started to come to together and make sence, beautiful scenery

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

I received a pass to this film from Tribute and, while I hadn't heard anything about it prior, I was certainly intrigued by the premise after I looked into it further. Having never read the short story by James Thurber, I came into the movie with a completely open mind and no preconceptions of what it should look or feel like. Off the bat, the visuals throughout were fantastic. Being that Walter Mitty constantly daydreams and imagines himself in a number of crazy events, the film is allowed to take things a little over the top. The transition between what Mitty pictures in his mind and the reality of his life is contrasted well and I found that as the film progressed, the lines between t

Lots of fin scenes, and Ben Stiller delivers some great comedy relief, comedy aside, the action sequences were great and really had me on the edge of my seat.

Fantastic movie

User review rating: 3 December 13, 2013

It was good but not fantastic.Moved kind of slow at first then got a little better.It was enough to keep us interested but we both like more action.

User review rating: 4 December 13, 2013

The film was very entertaining. The story had a profound message but with good comedy and action. Beautiful sceneries of Iceland and the Himalayas. Very well filmed with use of innovative credit presentation and visual shots. My friend and I enjoyed it and it lifted our spirits. Good entertainment from Ben Stiller.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

I have enjoyed watching the movie. There is a lesson to learn about being able to change, turn things around, doing unexpected, having courage to be adventures and making a dream come true. It was a relaxing experience and perfect movie for coming holidays. Sense of humor always helps. I have already recommended it to my friends.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

This movie is visually stimulating and exciting to watch. Ben Stiller really brings this story to life. I know I thought what more can I be doing with my life like his character. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

It's rare a movie surpasses my expectations. I knew this was going to be a heartfelt story. But the writing and visuals were so good, you really felt like you were being taken on the same journey Ben Stiller's character was on. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I think it works on a ton of different levels.

great movie, fun and EXTREMELY well shot. The scenery is fantastic!

User review rating: 5 December 13, 2013

Ben Stiller is endearing in the role of Walter Mitty. Can't think of another Hollywood actor who could have pulled that role off. He balances the razor's edge between underdog and hero and has the audience laughing out loud and cheering as we fall in love with him. Beautifully directed, the picture unfolds as magically as the story.

I loves the magic feeling about this film. Nice film for first date

User review rating: 3 December 13, 2013

It is an interesting movie. I don't think it is a secret life, I would say dedicated life is more like it. There is a romance in it which could be more explored. It is a bit funny and the adventure scenes are great. At the end I had mix feeling of sad and happy ending for he has no job and getting his true love.
