A bit too long and with a bit too little happening...

Rating: 4/10 (6 April 2014)

For a Ben Stiller movie, then "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" wasn't particularly impressive. That being said, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that it is a bad movie, it was just something entirely different from what I had expected, and there was a surprising shortage of comedy in the movie.
The story is about Walter Mitty (played by Ben Stiller) who works at Life magazine, where he is in charge of the negatives of all the photo shoots. When the magazine is going to run its final issue, before going to the online media, Walter is left in charge of negative #25, which is to be the front cover. However, it is missing from the roll, and in his search for the elusive photographer Sean O'Connell (played by Sean Penn), Walter travels far and wide - in search for something to which he has been blind.
Actually, very little did happen throughout the course of this almost two hour long movie, which tended to make the movie sort of drag along from time to time.
This is not your usual Ben Stiller movie, and for that it is interesting. But the overall movie just didn't really appeal all that much to me. Sure there were some nice moments here and there, but the movie lacked force and punch.
There are some nice names amongst the list of cast in this movie, and people were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters, I will say that much.
