This film is based off the short story, with the same title, written by James Thurber, and is remake of the 1947 film with the same title. Walter Mitty works for Life magazine, but spends most of his life fantasizing about romance, heroism, and action. Walter finds his job at risk if he can not obtain a missing photo from Sean O'Connell. To locate this missing photo, Walter sets out in search of O'Connell, and discovers the adventures his life has been missing.
"That is the purpose of life." This film was directed by Ben Stiller. This film was made to be an adventure comedic film. However, the story focus' a lot on drama trying to bring more substance to the story. There are plenty of comedic moments, and one scene that is hilarious. However, many of the plot points that needed to be important were hindered by the script. The grand scheme of the story is a great concept. The grandeur of the backdrops adds to the scheme of the story. The cinematography in this film is great because it reminds us of the vastness of the world. The film did get bogged down by its acting. Ben Stiller played the role of Walter Mitty. This film really does feel like a one man show. Ben began the film great, but it never felt like his character truly evolved.
I give this film 4 out of 5 stars! It is a great imaginative film with moments of humor. It is hindered when it attempts to reach for dramatic moments.
