REVIEW
What a surprise! Firstly cinematography is wonderful and so amazing! Fantastic views and extraordinary camera shots. One of if not the best in 2013 in my opinion! Ben Stiller is another great surprise! He directed the film and also star in it. Great performance from him and whole cast. This is an example of a movie where story is simple and predictable, script is not perfect and yet you don't care about that stuff because the film is relatable, thought provoking and heart-warming. Mitty is normal underachieving dreamer that finally discovers the world. The movie is perfect mix of reality and fantasy adventure with a glimpses of comedy and seriousness. Entertaining, visually and audibly marvellous and must see flick! 4/5
