Dull as dishwater.

Rating: 2/10 (4 February 2019)

How is this movie getting so many adoring reviews? It's just an exasperating and uneventful two hour long waste of life. The title is stolen from an excellent short story that most British kids read when they're young. The film has no relationship with that story whatsoever.
Nothing makes sense and the insane decisions Mitty makes defy any sense of logic. I think Ben Stiller is one of those actors that only Americans 'get'. All his movies are completely lost on me.
If you like Stiller, you'll like this. If his humor is as baffling to you as it is to me, you're in for another disappointment.
