You can Bring the Kids!

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2013)

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a unique film that will both entertain and inspire you. The story centres on Walter Mitty. Many were considered for the role such as Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Owen Wilson, Mike Myers and Sacha Baron Cohen but in the end Ben Stiller both stars and directs. He does a wonderful job bringing the down trodden Walter Mitty to life. The film focuses on Walter who stores negatives for the fictional Life Magazine. Walter is unhappy with how his life has turned out but lacks the courage to go after what he needs. Instead he turns to a world of daydreams which proves to be unsatisfying. What happens next is both wonderful and inspiring. I loved this film. Ben Stiller is believable and fun. Sean Penn is his usual charismatic self and adds some spice to the film. The story is unique and captivating. It is a great way to spend the afternoon and you can bring the kids.
