SECRET LIFE OF MALTER WITTY


               




So. Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Daydreamer extraordinaire. Takes you on a trippy trip that Elise and I found to be worth the watch. Didn't rock Rotten Tomatoes or anything, so we were a little skep going in, but this was an enjoyable story with pleasant ending. No sexuality, which is always nice (and uncommon for a Ben Stiller flick). A few swears I think, but nothing so blatant it sticks in my mind (though my mind is admittedly pretty slippery...). And a few pretty darn funny scenes. Get ready for a porpoise-less, longboarding trip into a volcano of snow leopard-like day dreams. Or were they all reality? Or is this really Inception 2, with Mitty stuck in a 4th level dream?

You'll just have to watch to find out! I give it 4 out 5 stars--something I'll look forward to watching again someday. I recommend all to watch it, but I do advise that you don't have too high expectations going in tho, bc there isn't some deep message or wonderful romance or hilarious wit here--just an enjoyable Friday night stay-at-home-and-eat-popcorn-on-the-couch-with-spouse movie).

Also, Mitty is an awesome name. Chelle and Jason, its your turn to name one of your children after a Ben Stiller movie, though I guess we will let you pick which one. You choose: Focker, Mitty or Zoolander.
