Critics Consensus: It doesn't lack for ambition, but The Secret Life of Walter Mitty fails to back up its grand designs with enough substance to anchor the spectacle.

College Movie Review

Kip Mooney

A frequently inspiring little film, one thrillingly devoid of any cynicism.

FULL REVIEW

Richard Crouse

It's Stiller's most subdued performance ever, and it looks good on him.

The frequent fantasy is almost always indistinguishable from the reality - which makes the fantasy not inspiring enough and the reality far too unperceivable.

Richard Propes

Stiller's performance is far more earnest than that which is found in Thurber's more satirical writing.

If you're a man who daydreams too much about exacting revenge for bullying, and wishing for a better life situation, have a gander at "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," and then go sign up for a Vision Quest, or a New Warrior Training Adventure.

Inspiring seize-the-day tale with some peril and flirting.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, starring and directed by Ben Stiller, may be based on James Thurber's short story, but it's very different from it and the original 1947 movie. It's a tween- and teen-friendly tale full of hope, with a can-do, go-big-or-go-home message that's backed by sensational special effects. Expect some swearing, including "hell" and "s--t," and some jarring scenes of conflict, though no graphic violence.
