Review of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) by Kim H — 17 Mar 2016

This is a great movie. Well acted, great message, and what it may lack in simplicity it makes up for with being beautifully shot and inspiring. I liked it the first time, and enjoyed it much more the second time. It wears well, enjoyed just as much by my husband as myself.

As to the negative reviews, this movie seems to suffer from the chronic disease of any remake - those who just can't let go of how much they love the original, and can't handle that the remake isn't like it. And of course you have the crowd who need a movie to give them a venue to preach about the darkness of humanity or else it's escapist fluff. Eyeroll to them both. Enjoy a bright fun movie and relax.
