Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

oiltrader Just a few quick points:The movie begins slow, but gathers momentum and becomes a massive snowball at the endAll the actors, small parts and big parts, play their roles to perfectionThe director (Ben Stiller of course) does a great job with the paceThe cinematographer is par excellenceThis movie must be watched at least twice to fully appreciate the work put into it (caveat: after first viewing, give it another 6 months before the second viewing)All in, a great movie about living life, instead of watching it.Peace be with you. You will find some in the 2 hours watching Walter Mitty.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 While the fantasy sequences seem a little out of place and ultimately become distracting within the overall narrative - though it's their absurdity that provide the majority of the film's sparse laughs and they are entertaining in isolation, 'The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013)' is an enjoyable and endearingly odd picture that occupies that strange space between comedy and drama, once the realities of the narrative are set into motion, all while spewing it's impassioned and somewhat sentimental message about seizing the moment and living life to the full. Rather than relentlessly beat you over the head with it's life-loving lesson, however, the flick lets it lead the plot into new places and bring a heart-warming joy to the admittedly absurd events portrayed. Therefore, rather than annoy, it actually delights. 7/10

bkoganbing For those who remember the Sam Goldwyn film on The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty you will find this new version nothing like it. Ben Stiller got some laughs in for sure, but his general treatment of the classic James Thurber story is far different than the one that starred Danny Kaye back in the day. Goldwyn and Kaye opted for straight comedy.Stiller's MItty gets a lot of time to daydream, he's got a job keeping all the photographs that Life Magazine has had since it's inception. But new management in the form of Adam Scott is shaking things up as Life will now be strictly an on line publication. Still there's one issue to be gotten out and Stiller has mislaid the negative he was sent from photographer Sean Penn.Penn lives the life going out to exciting and dangerous places to bring back the news photographs for Life that Stiller only dreams about daily. So in that month's time Stiller embarks on a global search for Penn based on some very fragmentary evidence of where Penn is. Penn likes the solitary life in a sense he and Stiller make a complete human being, Penn with the action and Stiller with the purpose that never gets put into action until now.Some performances of note are Shirley MacLaine as Stiller's mother, Kristen Wiig as the object of Stiller's affections that he hasn't the nerve to speak to until recently, and Adam Scott who is definitely representative of the Age of Trump as Stiller's new boss come in for the liquidation of a great institution.Some nice location photography is also part of The Secret Life Of Walter MItty which in the end isn't so secret any more.

navswede I never had a best movie, I guess I was saving that spot for a really awesome movie. Watching this not just put that spot at risk, it occupied it. This is truly a captivating motion picture. I don't suppose anyone might read this, considering it's been 5 years. However, if you had a choice between this movie and another, I'd recommend you watch this. It truly is an amazing piece of work, a terrific story and a great cinematography. Thanks, Ben Stiller for not just a motivating and mind-blowing movie but also for the message you passed across. I suppose this adds me to the list of people who joined IMDb just to rate an awesome movie. "Your dreams can change the world, if only you make them a reality"
