The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Impressive landscapes, plus Kristen Wiig's appealing Cheryl, the fellow worker who inflames Walter's passion, make the movie enjoyable enough. Yet its style is a constant bafflement, and nowhere more so than in a key scene on a Himalayan mountaintop—an encounter between Walter and a character played by Sean Penn. One could imagine the scene being played relatively straight, as a moment of fleeting profundity in a comedy, or as the culmination of a shaggy-dog story. What's so baffling is the way it has been played—drained of energy, tone or discernible attitude. Like so much of this journey by a shy guy from Life magazine, Walter's peak experience is weirdly lifeless.
