    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
