The Secret is out, a Ben Stiller masterpiece performance!

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2013)

This may be Ben Stiller's best movie ever. Walter Mitty took me on an adventure that will last longer than the approximated length of the movie. He once again works in his visual versatility that he's come so famous for employing. From straight laced, pencil pushing worker bee to cliffhanging, shark fighting daredevil. Plainly speaking, he just dazzles and he brings you in and you want the movie to last longer.
The center of his dreams is of course a girl, Cheryl (Kristen Wiig), a coworker, through no fault other than his bashfulness, doesn't even know he exists. His fate changes when a negative from a roll of film from their company's lead photographer, Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn) gets lost. He needs her help and she inspires him to go track Sean down.
I left feeling like I just watched Stranger Than Fiction for the first time. This is a feel good story of make believe powerful enough to resonate in real life. One of the best films this year.
