The Inspiring Secret Life of Walter Mitty

I can remember seeing the first trailer for this film months ago and knowing then what I have confirmation of now.  It truly is an inspiring film and full of heart.

Walter Mitty is the guy you want to be your friend.  He is kind, sweet, and so timid you just want to route him on.  We are first introduced to Walter as he is trying to "wink" on eharmony.com at a co-worker he has feelings for.   For whatever reasons, his wink will not submit so he calls eharmony and speaks with Todd who becomes a new friend and frequent supporter of the great Walter Mitty (no seriously Todd and Walter eat at Cinnabon at the end of the movie).  We soon find out that Walter has been in his shell for some time and therefore has been lacking in the life experience department. 

Our dear friend Walter Mitty works for Life magazine during a time of duress. With the internet rampant with information, The magazine, Life, is publishing it's final copy.  Then, a well known, adventurous,  and talented photographer who has worked and respected Walter for years, sends him the negatives of his photos and specifically points out that negative 25 needs to be used  for the cover of the final publication.  The only problem is that Walter can't find it and it seems as though it wasn't sent with the other negatives. This is huge for the company and his superior whom is a douche bag with a bad beard will not let up until Walter shows him the negative.  Basically, he needs to find it or loose his job.

So Walter begins his conquest to find the infamous negative 25.  Which turns our timid, simple Walter Mitty into the adventurous person he's always been.  He literally jumps onto plains, gets into a fight with a karaoke singer in Greenland, and is involved in many more unbelievable scenarios that once used to be only in his imagination.  

If you want to know if Walter finds negative 25, keeps his job, or steels the heart of his co-worker (played by the ever so talented Kristen Wiig), you'll just have to see it.  But I can tell you this, there is a reason why Walter spaces out and imagines himself in heroic, adventurous situations.  It's because he truly is that heroic, inspiring, adventurous person.  The question is....... why did he change?
