thoroughly enjoyed

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2014)

strongly disagree with the critics here, this movie is seriously good. Walter Mitty is a mediocre man who sometimes confuses real life with a fictional world produced by his imagination and secretly in love with a coworker is suddenly shaken by the recent acquisition of the magazine he works for (LIFE). after losing the potential cover for the final issue his life takes a sharp turn and he sets out to find the photographer who took it. the movie recollects his adventures as he wanders around the world in a calm, spectacular and quite touching way. the movie is obviously not a silly comedy and never intended to be. there clearly are some exaggerations such as the volcano escape but in the context of the movie they get diminished and absorbed by the flow of the story which keeps a steady pace and doesn't let boredom set in. it's a light, funny, inspirational and creative movie, despite some flaws it's thoroughly enjoyable.
