Ben Stiller (Tower Heist) returns to directing in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, to mixed love from critics.
Based on the classic short story by James Thurber, the movie follows Walter Mitty (Stiller), a timid magazine photo manager whose only adventure comes in his constant daydreamers. But when a negative goes missing, he embarks on a real-life adventure that proves much bigger than anything he could have imagined.
The PG film also stars Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids) as Walter’s love interest, Adam Scott (Friends With Kids) as the work bully, Kathryn Hahn (Wanderlust) as his sister and Shirley MacLaine (Bernie) as his mother.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty grossed a moderate $58 million in theaters, perhaps because of the mixed reviews the movie got from critics. Richard Roeper called it “one of the more disappointing efforts,” but Los Angeles Times‘ Kenneth Turan said the film is “smarter than you think it will be.”
Both the DVD and Blu-ray carry these special features:
- behind-the-scenes featurettes:
- “The Look of Life”
- “The Music of Walter Mitty”
- “Sights and Sounds of Production”
- “Skateboarding Through Iceland”

The Bly-ray/DVD Combo adds:
