The Secret Life of WalterMitty—a fabulous remake of the 1947
Danny Kaye movie of the same name—becomes worth your time and money. The film
examines Life magazine’s decision to close
its doors and the dedication of one underpaid and unrecognized employee, beleaguered
Walter Mitty (played by Ben Stiller), to ensure that the final issue is one of
its greatest issues. People are what make Life
magazine outstanding and Walter Mitty not only finds his person, but finds
courage to face danger and adventure across Greenland, Iceland, and the
Himalayas while tracking one of Life’s
best photographers for Life’s final
cover photo. It’s a terrific story across a backdrop of great scenery and gives
the viewer a nice ‘pop’ of satisfied happiness at the end.
