Twentieth Century Fox premiered Ben Stiller's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" at the New York Film Festival on Saturday afternoon, with a simultaneous screening held in Los Angeles for West Coast journalists and critics. The film, which Stiller directed and based on James Thurber's 1939 New Yorker short story, left the critical community divided like few releases thus far this year.
"The film's pleasures may be too minor-key and its pace too meandering to conquer the mainstream," wrote David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter. "But audiences willing to tune in to its blend of surreal fantasy, droll comedy and poignancy will be rewarded."
"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" stars Stiller as the title character, a LIFE magazine negative asset manager (a.k.a. photo editor) who retreats to day dreams to escape the confines of his mild-mannered life. After a corporate takeover puts the magazine on death's door (a vicious Adam Scott plays the film's main antagonist), Mitty is forced to live out his fantasies while hunting for a missing negative from the periodical's ace photographer (Sean Penn) that will be used for the final LIFE cover. (Steve Conrad's script takes Mitty from midtown Manhattan to Iceland, Greenland and even Afghanistan.) Kristen Wiig (as Mitty's literal dream girl), Shirley MacLaine, Kathryn Hahn and Patton Oswalt round out the supporting cast.
