I enjoyed it, but mainly from the photography aspect of it, and the nice scenery throw in. Is it true to the source material, I don't really know. I do know that this particular "Walter Mitty" had a character arc, and I enjoyed the improbable ride he goes on in the film. Are the daydream segments over-the-top? Sure, but that's the marketing hook at play. Once you get past that, and Walter starts really "living" life, the themes played out fine for me. I usually can't stand Sean Penn, but for the small role he played, I wasn't pulled out the film by his presence or acting. For some things, the film reminds us to just take some time and let things soak in.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
