When it’s announced that Life magazine will be publishing their final issue, Walter is put in charge of the final cover from famed and elusive photojournalist Sean O’Connell (Sean Penn). Quite possibly his most well rounded effort, Ben Stiller has managed to surprise yet again, crafting a film that is funny, blends genres and is thoroughly entertaining.Īn adaptation of James Thurber’s 1939 short story, Ben Stiller’s Mitty tells the story of lonely daydreamer Walter (Ben Stiller), an employee at Life Magazine’s photo department. While not as goofy as his previous two films ( Zoolander and Tropic Thunder ), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty takes the comedic qualities of his previous two films and adds an emotional and dramatic weight to it. Much like his character in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Stiller’s directorial efforts have matured as he progresses over time. Ben Stiller has had quite the journey throughout his career.
