THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY: 2013:++:DRM
As the title of this post will indicate, this movie was sleep inducing. Some parts were funny and I liked that Kristen Wiig was in it, but overall I didn't really know what this movie was trying to be. Was it a comedy, drama, mystery? At times it seemed like it was all three, but never really delivering on all cylinders in any one capacity.
Ben Stiller seemed confused with his role. He portrays a character that wishes he had more excitement in his life and day dreams to fill in the gap. As evidenced in his eHarmony profile, it's blank. Adam Scott plays almost the same character he played in Stepbrothers as Derek, i.e. a very annoying, obnoxious dweeb. The only difference is his beard which makes him look pretty ridiculous.
The parts where Ben and Adam argue are probably the best and provide most of the comedic elements. Some of the scenes are pretty cool and provide a little action.
One of the better scenes in the movie where Mitty is daydreaming of course..
I also liked the part where they argue over a stretch Armstrong doll. How is really going to remember Stretch Armstrong though? That's a stretch itself.
Yes, that's a Stretch Armstrong doll.
Some of the other scenes I liked were when he is traveling and when he almost gets killed by a volcano. The ending is probably the best part, because it ends finally. So if you want to see a movie that isn't ultra violent or has a lot of sex in it, watch this with your kids. I guess that's a positive: 69%
