Review of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) by Cectheronin — 30 Jan 2014
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty should have been heartwarming whimsical movie that I fell in love with, but instead frustrated me to no end. The biggest problem is that none of the characters act in a way that any relatable human being would, which culminates in a near end twist that really took me out of the movie.
The parts that are clever or heartwarming come at the expense of being a paint-by-numbers cliche. The dialogue comes off as very awkward, which is intentional, but not the awkward that lends itself to good writing that someone like Joss Whedon can produce.
I am sure that I will appreciate the message and the intent behind it, but I was too frustrated and bored to enjoy watching it.
