Ben Stiller is perfect as Walter Mitty. Ben Stiller's performance was so engaging, a nice break from his usual slapstick roles. If you want to see him capturing the emotions of a man that has a hard time expressing himself, you will love this movie.
The visuals in this film were particularly fantastic. Every scene was perfectly captured and just beautiful. The soundtrack was just equally as good. the movie is funny thought provoking, touching at times and startling at others. It's entertaining throughout the whole movie.
