A bland average film directed by the star of the film Ben Stiller

Rating: 4/10 (21 February 2015)

I have been a fan of Ben Stiller's ever since I can remember as I have seen him in a lot of films ranging from Meet The Parents trilogy,to the Night At The Museum trilogy,even that film There's Something About Mary. So Ben directed,produced and starred in this 2013 fantasy based on a short story by James Thurber.
It starts off with Stiller as Walter Mitty a man who is on a dating site and he has a crush on a girl called Cheryl(played by Kristen Wigg sporting a much darker hairdo,who happens to be a single mom to a teenage son)who happens to be working in the same company as him. Walter however isn't like your average ordinary guy because he often daydreams about being a mountain climber,or a superhero (where he saves Cheryl's dog),or where he battles with his boss(played by Leap Year's Adam Scott who acts as a jerk towards Walter). Walter of course ends up going to Iceland and Afghanistan to track down a man called Sean O'Connell (played by Sean Penn)as he looks up to Penn's charcther and travels to these places in order to track him down. So can Walter track Sean down ?
Overall the cinematographic is beautiful to look at,as Iceland seems to be a very beautiful place to visit,as for the downer the story is a tad bit dull and Walter going into daydreams is pretty stupid but hey his suppose to do this as this is based off a short story about a man who daydreams about being whoever he wants to be as he hates his job.
Keep an eye out for Shirley McClain as Walter's mother and a spoof of Brad Pitt's film The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
Ben Stiller should just stick to comedies like Night At The Museum and Meet The Parents as well as that 2004 film Dodgeball which were classic Ben Stiller comedies.
Overall its a 2.5/5 for me and out of 10 a 4/10
