Ben Stiller is no Danny Kaye, and this movie is no Walter Mitty.

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2014)

I don't want to be cruel to Ben Stiller, but this movie will be crap to anybody who has seen the original. Ben Stiller played Walter Mitty one dimensional. ie not funny. Danny Kaye played Walter Mitty multi dimensional, very funny, as only Danny Kaye could do in the Hollywood of the day.
Ben Stiller could replace Norman Wisdom in any remake of Norman Wisdom Movies. But The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?, forget it.
I could write for a week about how bad this film was. But I wont.
I've ticked spoilers but I don't think I've left any.
The biggest disappointment for me was Ben Stiller came across far to much like Norman Wisdom.
Danny Kaye's original Walter Mitty was exceptional. This remake is just boring. I have read most of the positive reviews. These people must have watched a different movie.
