I admire the film’s originality, and the thought-provoking twist ending, but daydream of a deeper director’s cut.

A frequently inspiring little film, one thrillingly devoid of any cynicism.

It's Stiller's most subdued performance ever, and it looks good on him.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Stiller's performance is far more earnest than that which is found in Thurber's more satirical writing.

If you're a man who daydreams too much about exacting revenge for bullying, and wishing for a better life situation, have a gander at "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," and then go sign up for a Vision Quest, or a New Warrior Training Adventure.

Stiller's remake succeeds in a wondrously entertaining and affecting way.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2019

The story is a combination of romance, action, mystery and comedy. It never misses a beat and skilfully delivers a feel good film that doesn't appear to blatantly manipulate audiences.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty ticks all the boxes for a sweet-natured family film and is spectacular on many levels.

Full Review | Aug 24, 2018

Although Stiller has acted in far-out films like Zoolander before, this one gives viewers another side to this actor - one who can handle such ambitious films with ease.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 18, 2017

There's a nice, chill, un-cynical sweetness to Mitty, that, after a bunch of heavy prestige pics, was welcome.

Along with turning in a nuanced performance, Stiller proves he has developed a keen ear and eye as a filmmaker.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 25, 2016

This is surprisingly nowhere near the Hollywood nightmare you might be thinking (or fearing).

Full Review | Aug 10, 2016

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a good-hearted delight.

Full Review | Jul 11, 2016

With such high aims, it's too bad that 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' falls somewhat short of greatness. But it's not often that you come across a "big" movie as earnest and patently un-cynical as this one.

Full Review | Jun 19, 2016

Somehow, out of a no-win situation, Stiller manages to make a likable movie that entertains while also providing a little get-out-of-the-basement inspiration.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Apr 3, 2016

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty provides fun and laughs, but also meaningful thoughts on life and how we choose to live it, along with a touching lead performance you'll want to root for.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is one charming film to see, and there's nothing wrong with a feel-good movie that makes you feel good about liking it.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 28, 2014

Ignore the liberties the film takes with the original (something the 1947 Danny Kaye movie also did, much to Thurber's annoyance), and this version proves to be a briskly entertaining, glossily photographed, globe-trotting romp,

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 27, 2014

A good-natured bit of escapist fluff that relies a bit too much on whiz-bang special effects.
