In 1917 it was a short story...in 1947 in was a Danny Kaye film....and now in 2013 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has been adapted by Ben Stiller. It may not be much of a secret anymore but this is a story that still needs telling.Walter wants to be an adventurer. He wants to be a lover and live his dreams. Unfortunately dreaming is what he's really good at...that and getting professional photographer Sean O'Connell's work published in Life magazine. Now though he can't even do that. See Life is going online and for the last issue Sean sent what he considers to be his greatest work ever...and Walter can't seem to find it. Now with his job in serious jeopardy, Walter sets off to find Sean and get that picture...and maybe on this globetrotting journey, just maybe Walter will find the courage he's been looking for all his life.
Well everyone, Hollywood is on a roll. Within three weeks they've released two of the greatest family films in years. The first was Saving Mr. Banks (have you seen it yet? Stop reading and go! Jeez) and now The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Seriously, its a great movie with great performances and a great message. You want more? Well there's also some great humor, a compelling mystery, and a sweet love story. Do I still need to keep talking? Yeah, I didn't think so.
