    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.

    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.

    Great movie. Not perfect, but well worth it. Very uplifting. Cinematography is amazing, the awesome soundtrack brings it to another level. I got chills.

    In my opinion, I thought Ben Stiller did a superb job of playing his role: stupid. I felt there was no climax in the movie outside of a good ending where Ben did get his girl.

    The movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time, Ben Stiller was fantastic as the lead character and his relationships with the different people in his life were honest and at times unique.

    Part comedy, part action, part romance. Wonderful and quirky movie all around and refreshingly clean. I enjoyed the cinematography and scenery.

    I was lucky enough to see the advanced screening of this movie (thank you Tribute!) and had high hopes that it would be as good as the trailer portrayed it to be. Although it had a great cast and some good moments, the story left you wanting more. We left the theatre feeling like there was something missing. I'm still trying to figure out what it was. Like the old saying goes "Close...but no cigar".

    I watched the 1947 version of, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" starring Danny Kaye several times and it always had a place in my heart as one of the classics. When I heard that Ben Stiller was doing his version I was a little nervous, as I'm not always keen on the remaking of a well loved classic, however I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the film. Ben Stiller outdid himself. The cinematography was fantastic and brought me to the places Walter Mitty travelled, I felt I was there. It worked so well on the big screen, really drawing the viewer in. I left the theatre with a feeling of why daydream about life, go live it! I will be recommending that my family and friends go see this film a
