Imaginative, funny and charming

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2016)

This is probably my favourite Ben Stiller movie. There are plenty of so-called 'adventure' films out there, many of them are dull and uninspiring, but 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' is one of the few that is genuinely interesting and enjoyable.
This is a funny film, silly in parts, but the humour isn't overdone or forced. The plot in itself is verging on ridiculous, far from believable, but the film makes up for it in charm and entertainment value. Stiller is a naturally funny actor and he delivers an extremely good performance as Walter Mitty, a relatable and endearing character.
This is a terrific adventure movie, one of the best in the genre. Interesting story, funny humour, relatable characters and beautiful scenery and production. A great movie all round.
