The Secret Life of Walter Mitty



What I liked:

  • Ben Stiller was delightful as Walter Mitty.
  • Stiller also directed it.
  • Kristen Wiig is lovely.
  • Wonderful supporting cast: Kathryn Hahn, Adam Scott, Adrian Martinez, Sean Penn, Patton Oswalt, and Shirley MacLaine.
  • It's an enjoyable story with layers that all connect in the end.
  • Fabulous soundtrack.
  • Rupert Holmes' "Escape (If You Like Pina Coladas)"
  • It was beautifully shot.  Great camera work and cinematography.
  • Stay until the lights come on for a special version of "Escape".


What I didn't like:
  • Adam Scott's beard looked fake.
  • The TV spots/trailers are not a good representation of what this film is all about.

Grade: A
