    I really don't get the hate from the critics, this movie is awesome.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    No idea what all the critic hate is for, easily his best acting and movie all together. Truly a heartfelt role acted completely honestly... even the imagination scenes weren't over the top compared to his typical roles and acting. Quit being pretentious and let it in and shed a tear for the life less journeyed, choices unchosen and adventures passed by.

    Beginning to end, an observant journey I fell apart of. Character arc is well articulated & paced out. Visuals and color are exceptional. Soundtrack is refreshing and not really distracting. Ben Stiller delivers such an extraordinary piece of cinema to the world.

    Can't believe some of the critics comments. I watched it when I was younger, and as I have gotten older every time I watch it the perspective changes. Everything about the movie is amazing from the music to the film shots. A great, soul-searching movie to watch!

    Leave it to the grumpy critics on Rotten Tomatoes to criticize this perfectly amazing movie. Don't listen to'em, just watch it, it has it all, and it'll leave ya feeling all warm and fuzzy by the end.

    A chicken soup movie for me, just makes me feel good

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Stiller and Wiig make a fascinating almost couple for most of the movie. Walter's real life adventures are stunning.

    This is the first project that Ben Stiller and Adam Scott did together and so its a great time to visit it after they did Severance together. The plot: The story is about a photo architect/manager guy that works at LIFE magazine. He's never really done anything with his life, just working day in and out and he loves his job. He's a sweet guy. They make it look like its going to be a romance movie early on but that is just a red herring. The story is basically about him getting to go on adventures that end up spicing up his dating profile inadvertently. In the end, he finds the photographer that had sent in pictures that would be perfect for the final physical issue of the magazine. My thoughts: The little elements showing off his overactive imagination were fun and creative. Honestly, it reminded me a little bit of me when I was younger. Then, I like that as he has his own experiences, he doesn't have to fantasize about them anymore. I think this movie was a good balance of comedy, adventure, and character development. I would definitely recommend it and I generally don't do a lot of comedy movies. I do have to say that I really do like Ben Stiller. He has good charisma and I have found a number of his projects have drawn me in when they normally wouldn't. I'd put him in the same general category as Ben Affleck.
