The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
This is a fascinating tale about the life of Walter Mitty, an office staff having endless dreams. He changes himself to a dumb person and becomes a ridicule for everyone. Even though his dreams are boundless he is unable to perform simple daily tasks.

With such high aims, it's too bad that 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' falls somewhat short of greatness. But it's not often that you come across a "big" movie as earnest and patently un-cynical as this one.

Stiller's attempt to braid together introspection and humor kept me engaged and curious, even when I wasn't quite sure what he was setting out to do.

This is surprisingly nowhere near the Hollywood nightmare you might be thinking (or fearing).

[Stiller's] creative fingerprints are few and far between here, the pic's spoon-fed schmaltziness betraying [his] typical satiric edge.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a good-hearted delight.

This is one of the more disappointing efforts of the holiday movie season.

Stiller's sensibility creates a movie that's smarter than you think it will be. Kind of like Walter Mitty himself.

The most universally satisfying Hollywood films are usually predicated on a dialectical relationship... But Walter Mitty is too clumsy and afraid to offend to properly take that journey, not unlike its titular character.

Painstakingly stylish, this is Stiller's most ambitious directorial work to date but also his most cloying.

Somehow, out of a no-win situation, Stiller manages to make a likable movie that entertains while also providing a little get-out-of-the-basement inspiration.

It has little narrative interest and requires that the director latch onto a very specific airy tone of whimsy, lest the whole souffle collapse.
