The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Last weekend I was hanging out with my uncles and cousins when The Secret Life of Walter Mitty came on. We entered at a hilarious point, when Mitty was daydreaming about being an entertainer for soldiers. So, my 7 year old cousin and I were hooked. The movie turned out to be about a man who daydreams constantly and happened to have something fantastical happen to him in real life. He and others had to decipher whether or not it was real.
The acting in the movie was fantastic and the concept was a lot of fun. Danny Kaye, who played Walter Mitty, was wonderful. He was funny, smart and emotional without trying too hard. He is an excellent actor.
I recommend you see this movie before it is remade in 2005 by Steven Spielberg with Jim Carrey playing the lead. It could be very good, but if you see the original now, you'll still be cool.
