It was ok,made sense to not only dream about what you'd like to do but go ahead and do it!! The scenery was great, saw landscapes in countries that I know will never see! Thanks!!
Can't help but to be happy when you watch this movie. It's about hopes and dreams and courage. Very beautiful visually, and with the story's morals. I think it represents a lot of people. Not sure about Kristen Wiig's acting though.. It killed parts of the movie for me.
The first 15 minutes you wanted to slap his new boss. The movie was very entertaining and the visuals were great, I would recommend it highly. Ben Stiller good job.
Touching movie about the life of a simple man who lives vicariously through his dreams. He is in a dead end job, looking for love and one lost photograph changes it all. He becomes the man he dreamed of being, adventurous, travelling and in the end getting the girl. Very poignant and a definite must see
Interesting with great visuals - the adapted screen play plays homage to the short story and expands on it to create depth in the characters
I really love the movie. It was funny and adventurous. Worth to watch! You lean a lot from the movie.
Was a great movie, we really enjoyed!!
Nice storyline quite an enjoyable movie. Always rooting for the underdog
Awesome movie. . .
It was very enjoyable -complete funny, scary, sad, happy parts. I would recommend this movie!!!
My rating is actually 4.5, but I didn't have that choice. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Great thoughtful writing, excellent show!
Loved the show. Great feel good movie.
Fun to watch Ben Stiller acting and being his funny self and with a serious side, but the movie never really evokes feelings of any kind. Over the top dramatics, scenery and situations, but moves too fast paced and seems like a series of disconnected parts/scenes. Some great laughts.
It was a good story line with some comedic, dramatic content. Scenerey was beautiful as it showed highlights other countries...helicopter scene was very dramatic & funny!!
All Round performance by Ben Stiller. Best soundtrack I've seen in a while. Beautiful locations and a great interpretation of the book. Leaves you happy and inspired at the end. What more do you want in a movie? 5 Stars!
Ben Stiller is a good actor and I enjoyed the movie although some times his fantasies and reality get a little bit blurry.
Ben Stiller is always a sure thing for an enjoyable and laugh-filled evening. His character really makes you root for the underdog and makes you want him to succeed! Kept me entertained the whole time!
I liked this movie for it's inspiration and uplifting story. The hero faces his self-doubts and finds courage and heroism and love in an action adventure in the beautiful background of Greenland and Iceland. He conversely discovers that a good life doesn't need to be extraordinary and attention-grabbing.
Overall it was okay. The cinematography was excellent. The plot didn't keep me all that engaged and found myself looking at my watch. The concept was great, the intertwined story lines and outcomes were predictable. If there is nothing else to see, than maybe you would enjoy it....I think this is one of those that you should wait for DVD release
Inspiring! This movie made me want to take photos and travel more - seeing landscapes in New Zealand and Greenland. This isn't your typical Ben Stiller physical comedy - that's a good thing!
Walter Mitty represents those of us who wish for a more exciting life but are too afraid to make a leap of faith. The movie sweeps you along on his journey with laughter, breathtaking scenery and a wonderful ending. Absolutely a fun movie and one I'd recommend to anyone looking for a good dose of pure entertainment.
This was a very good movie. The story line was very interesting and fun to watch and the scenery was incredible!
Very interesting movie...gave me much to think about... Walter is shy, socially inept but extremely dedicated to his job, kind and compassionate and he substitutes his ineptness with vivid imaginations, fantasies and day-dreaming. Everyone of us day-dream, fantasize and imagine "what if's" and we don't share these fantasies with others lest we get laughed at or worse, people may think we are crazy. Each one of us have these "inner secret fantasies" and this movie made me realize that it's okay to fantasize, however crazy they may be if it allows your life to be more bearable. Ben is encouraged by the girl he admires and becomes courageous enough to "get up and do" what he needs to do for his
We enjoyed specially the photography and the chosen locations. Even if the story was a little predictable, we liked some moments of the film.
The movie was very sweet, and provides inspiration to live your dreams. Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig were lovely together. Plus, all encounters between strangers were positive which is very unusual.
I loved Ben stiller in this film where he plays an everyday guy who escapes from his 'ho-hum' life by playing out his fantasies. He tries in so many ways to become a hero when he takes more control in his own life to try and save the day. Love the music and Sean Pena. It was a lot of fun!
The movie was nicely done, the scenery and landscapes on his adventures was breathtaking. Shows how we all zone out and go to our happy place at times.
Visually very interesting. The story itself is good, but not great.
The story of a man prone to escape the present moment through fantasies who is transformed when he discovers his courage. Quite entertaining. Highly recommend
this was such a fun loving movie. than You so much for opportunity to see the advance screening of it. I have told so many friends to go see it because it really did have a life story many can relate to. The characters were such "everyday"people.Loved it!!!
It was a nice movie, it has very nice landscapes. I would gladly recommend this movie.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is the perfect 'get away from it all' movie. Ben Stiller plays Walter Mitty, a guy who everyone recognizes as being a bit strange, in that he spaces out at the most inopportune times. In truth, Walter has a vivid imagination and it's his imaginary adventures that give him joy in his rather humdrum life. When he has the opportunity to hunt down a valuable missing photographic negative and impress the girl of his dreams (played by the delightful Kristen Wiig), Walter travels far and wide, creating real adventures of his own. Want to be entertained? See this film.
This was a great movie.I thought the funniest moment was the Benjamin Button episode. The scenery was beautiful..He was also very skilled at riding a skateboard.
very nice and kind movie.the sound and effects were grate.I didn't like that my cell phone was taken from me before I entered to the theatre.but overvise everything was good.thank you
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was surprisingly good. It had a gentle realism in it, even during the fantasy parts, that left you caring for the people at Life and throughout the film. A good story that turned out to be as grand as the cinematography which was stunning.
The story was ok. Great pictures.
Ben Stiller's Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a funny, touching, and very enjoyable family film. Was better than I expected, and features great visual effects, as well as memorable scenes. Kristen Wiig and Ben Stiller give good performances, and this is a great holiday film for the entire family. A few script problems, but otherwise very good. 4/5
The Secret is out on the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and lends truth to the age old expression that some things are better left unsaid. This movie was tragically flawed from the beginning. Unclear if it was an action, romance, comedy or drama, with a painfully difficult storyline to follow. What began as a special effects action film seemed to turn into broke back mountain meets Up in the Air. Not even a rental in this movie goers opinion. Here's the secret: this movie was horrible, and that is a painful admission from someone who is otherwise a fan of Ben Stiller and Shawn Penn
Great Movie
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was a disappointment, and definitely not of the calibre of other movies I have seen. While the acting wasn't the best, it certainly wasn't noteworthy. I found the movie very fractured and disjointed. The story was very hard to follow, almost impossible to establish, and it was a very boring script. My date fell asleep and I was nodding off on several occasions. What ever action there may have been was not developed and edited in a clumsy manner. I feel this movie was not one of my favorites. I enjoy going to what ever movies time allows me to, but this one required a great deal more work to make it something more may enjoy. I do look forward to another movie o
It was entertaining but it wasn't a wow movie. The scenery was really awesome though
Nice written script with good story telling. Ben Stiller did good on this one and deserved a recognition. Beautiful sceneries with one of the best special effects.
Uplifting and totes funny:)
Fun Movie to watch.
Enjoyed the movie as the story slowly leads into the adventure of the character. The scenery was very beautiful in his travels to other countries.
It took me a while to get into the hang of the movie, finding it a bit juvenile and uninteresting. Fortunately the movie picked up and was redeemed by its surprising ending.
3stars I enjoyed the movie especially the scenery..found it slow at times though.
Very entertaining movie. Very fine acting by all.It was all you wanted in a movie from some laughs to some more serious scenes. A very enjoyable evening. Thank You Tribute
The movie was great and the acting was well done.Ben Stiller directed and starred in this film and his fantasy world took him tofar places and eventually win over his girl friend played by Kristen Wiig
