Well Worth The Time

Rating: 8/10 (17 January 2014)

I saw the Danny Kaye movie when I was a kid. It was kind of corny and wasn't the most memorable. (I remember Boris Karloff and Virginia Mayo were in it though).
I took my daughter to this movie because of the old one. I thoroughly enjoyed this one much more than its older relative. I would recommend it to anyone. I think I've seen one Ben Stiller movie a very long time ago. He was the perfect Walter Mitty. Totally believable.
Beautifully filmed and it was fun. Was never bored. Nice family movie.
I just found out from a friend that the professional reviewers panned it which was surprising. So much for taste. I guess they like the deep dark movies, brooding actors, complicated dialog, remakes/sequels, and loud special effects more. This movie didn't have much of that which was fine by me.
Anyway, I would recommend it to anyone. Well done Ben and Kristen!! Look forward to your next movie together. Thanks for giving us two hours of fun.
