The Secret Life of Walter Mitty


Regardless of the bad reviews and a bit of a bust at the Box Office, I really liked this movie.  We have this guy Walter, a nerdy, basement office dweller who is kind of an introvert, (we have all worked with one of these before and if you havent guess what...).  Anyway, he is a much more interesting fellow than meets the eye.  Working for Time Magazine for their last printed issue, he is under the gun by the new asshole in charge to produce the cover photo on time.  The movie shows him finding himself to save his job and discover what he is really missing in life.  The music was excellent and the cinematography was outstanding.  This has been called the Forest Gump of today, well dont listen to that!  Very in depth with well played hidden analogies that tie the movie together.  I would call this a must watch movie that may even inspire you to get off your butt and do something.  

FYI:  Actors Jim CarreyOwen WilsonMike Myers and Sacha Baron Cohen were all considered for the role of Mitty during the development of this film.
