Description:Walter Mitty works for LIFE magazine, developing negatives. As the final issue goes to press, renown photographer Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn) sends Walter a negative of the cover photo but Walter can't find it. Meanwhile, he's hoping to date Cheryl (Kristen Wiig), a woman from his office, but is scared to ask her. In fact, he spends much of his life daydreaming about great adventures. With her encouragement, he sets out to track down Sean to find the negative. He ends up going to Greenland, Iceland and Afghanistan. He finally finds the photographer who tells him the negative is in the wallet he gave Walter. Back in the states, Walter turns in the negative and the final issue of LIFE comes out with Walter's picture on the cover as one who "made it happen." He finally gets the courage to ask Cheryl on a date.

Reviews for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Review - Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The

Weird movie. The parts are better than the whole. Walter's friendship with Cheryl, his vivid daydreams, his travels to Greenland and Iceland in search of the photographer, his struggles at work as the magazine is shutting down, all interesting. But somehow they never come together to make a picture worth watching.
