The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
















Ben Stiller directs and stars in this dramedy (mostly comedy) about a schlub caught in the minutia of a work-a-day life, dreaming of a more exciting existence.  Stiller is good in the title role, bringing his signature dry humor to the proceedings while supporting performances from the likes of Kristen Wiig and Sean Penn really add a lot to the story.  The film is beautifully shot in many locations around the world which adds an extra sense of wonder to the story that it would otherwise not have.  The drama is a bit formulaic and the jokes (especially some extended day-dreaming sequences) are pretty hit-and-miss but when the movie succeeds, it's a lot of fun.
