Such a wonderful movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2014)

This is the kind of movie we love....very unusual and an interesting story, great photography, great screenplay, great music, great cast. So many movies these days are so violent or graphic, and with terrible language. This movie was so much fun to watch, and, for a change, we left the theater smiling and happy, instead of disturbed and depressed!
Ben Stiller was excellent in the title role. As he goes into his "zones", imagining things as he wished they would be, one is transported to exotic locales and wonderful characters. The transitions from imagination to reality are seamless. Shirley MacLaine has a fairly small part, but is her always wonderful self in her role as Walter's mother. We waited so long to go see this that we almost missed it at our theater. This is one to see on the big screen and with an audience. Our audience was of all ages, young to old, and everyone seemed to like it. Go see it!
