Let me be frank: to use the words of the august founder of this website, I hated, hated, hated this movie.

IGN

Stiller's earnest retelling is a sumptuous looking, intermittently effective fable.

While stunning sequences show him skate-boarding away from an erupting volcano and fighting off a great white shark, the character never becomes more than a fuzzy conceit.

The Movie Blog

It was a fantastic adventure smoothly dipping in and out of fantasy and reality, proving that the space between the impossible and possible isn't that big when you put your mind to it.

Collider

'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' is filled with pretty pictures and motivational tone, but it lacks the depth and thoughtfulness to depict what truly makes us better people.

IMDb

Overall though, this was an entertaining feel-good film that will bring us to places we rarely see on screen. The spectacular photography of the exotic settings demand that you see this film on the big screen.

Rotten Tomatoes

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty can sometimes feel like listening to a high-school slam poet read from his latest diary entry: it's all-too earnest and over-the-top heartfelt.

IMDb

Ben Stiller's Walter Mitty should be in that group with Truman Show and Stranger Than Fiction.
