Simple. Beautiful. Fantastic.

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2013)

Quintessence. After watching this tonight, I can honestly say that it is definitely worth a watch. It is a modern depiction of the short story written by James Thurber. Although I haven't read the story you certainly can notice the differences – in the advancements of technology - since 1939 when it was originally published.
Ben Stiller director and protagonist does both perfectly, keeping you gripped throughout. There are characteristics of romance, comedy and mainly adventure. At times your thinking is he daydreaming, or not? Is life just one big daydream? You catch yourself sympathising with Mitty as the film seems to say something about modern society, about how technology is revolutionising today's society and the daydreams we have about LIFE.
A must watch, just marvellous. 9/10.
