    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.

    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!
