Out after Christmas The Secret Life of Walter Mitty starring Ben Stiller as Walter follows a man who is faced with redundancy, when the magazine he works for goes online only. His life to date has been very uneventful, but as he has to go in search of a missing photograph for the final edition of the magazine.
This is a very fun film, maybe not quite funny enough to have the audience in stiches, but plenty of laughs along the way, particularly with regard to his relationship with the guy from the online dating website *massive product placement alert*
It speeds along at a good pace, with plenty going on to keep the interest levels high, so I never became bored with it, and the central performance by Ben Stiller is really good.
The one thing definitely in this film's favor is the soundtrack, which is quite simply brilliant, I'm not normally good at noticing music in film, but the song choices along the way are great.
This is definitely a fun film, although reading some comments from people it's not going to get the audience it deserves, I think perhaps the trailer is putting a few people off, which is a shame. When you see as many film's as I do, you learn not to judge a movie by its trailer. Is this the best film of the year? No. Will it trouble the awards ceremonies? Unlikely. But this is much better than you think it's going to be 8/10
