Genre: Adventure Comedy Drama
Cert: This was give a PG but I think it should of been a 12A
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: A handful of mild comments/innuendo.
Violence & Gore: Some mild action violence during some of Walter's daydreams, but it is all played of laughs.
Profanity: 1 use of shit. 1 use of ass. 2-3 uses of hell. The word dick is said once ("You don't have to be such a dick about it").
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Walter goes into a bar to get directions. One man drinks a large amount of beer and then proceeds to pilot a helicopter while drunk.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The Official MPAA Rating - Rated PG: (for some crude comments, language and action violence).
Story: Ben Stiller directs and stars in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, James Thurber's classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined
Likes : Im not a big fan of Ben Stiller film's normal there a bit to goofy & over the top but what Ben stiller is best at is the mellow drama movie's special like this one, it was so moving & beautiful made it really dose make you think about life, for a remake this film is brilliantly & beautiful done.
Through the movie its a little slow which was perfect for this type of film, it adds perfect to a chain of events where Walter take a leap of faith from his boaring life & set of a journey of discovery & adventure to track down an old school legendary photographer played brilliantly by Sean Penn.This movie isn't about narrative or script having to be perfect its about stretching the imagination & this film dose it perfectly, its kind of a film for the day dreamer's that dream of a better life if your one of those people you can relate to Walter's character which make this film perfect to watch.
If you are hoping to see Ben Stiller doing one of his usual humorous roles, you will be disappointed. If you want to see him capturing the emotions of a man that has a hard time expressing himself, you will love this movie, although there are a few scene you will laugh you head off at because it has that comical moments.
Its one of those movies that really capture the heart of imagination & the true beauty of the world while giving the message that life is about courage & discovery, if you want something or you want to do something don't let life hold you back just take that leap of faith & discover the world for what it is a beauty world with amazing sight's..
The soundtrack. While I was definitely distracted by the visuals and Ben Stiller's spot-on performance, the soundtrack deserves a nod as well. Every song fit perfectly with the tone of the film. There are a few scenes that stand out as particularly wonderful, special the mountain range scene & the stake board scene just brilliant captures what life is all about.
Kristen Wiig dose a brilliant job plays the love interest of Walter which perfectly capture the romance side of the film & the very reason for Walter to take this journey to fit in her life, perfect performance from Kristen wig.The entire family can enjoy a spirited albeit superficial comedy without scatological or romantic excess. And the lesson about living the dream comes gently and believably. An enjoyable comedy this is. These very words are inspiring & capture the heart of imagination with every word:
"To see things thousands of miles away, things hidden behind walls and within rooms, things dangerous to come to...." Life Magazine.
This is a film for the dreamer's in life, this is the film for those with a romantic heart & see the world for the beauty it holds, this is one film to experience in the cinema, its very inspiring.
Dislikes : Only criticism is Adam Scott. While he is great at playing the jerk boss, his beard is very distracting. It looks fake, as if they pasted it onto his face. Other than that, I think the movie was pretty much perfect and can be enjoyed by anyone looking to see a beautiful movie about a man with a very active imagination.
Overall : Great film for the dreamer's, a film that take the imagination to new heights, a must to see
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for concept & inspirational storyline.
