The best movie of 2014

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2014)

I saw this on DVD at the urging of my 14 year old daughter. I was blown away and wish I had seen it in the theater when it was released. I have watched it about 10 times now. It is just perfectly done. If you are familiar with Joseph Campbell and any of his writing on mythology then you will love how this story follows the hero myth so wonderfully. This movie is now in my top 5 all time most loved movies.
As I said the story is superb and so is the acting. Ben Stiller really brings this to life and I think it is the best role he has ever done. Although this is not an hysterical comedy like you are used to seeing him in, he brings a great deal of subtle humor to keep the story light and entertaining, but at the same time he gives a very real performance. His Mitty is not two dimensional but a real person you can relate to.
I highly recommend this movie.
