It really did.
It has been a very long time since I've felt an actual psychic shift while watching a film.
This film is about a man named Walter Mitty (duh), and about his highly active imagination. It is also about how Walter, played incredibly by Ben Stiller, makes his dreams a reality.
The cinematography on this film was so vivid and alive. The richness of the color made me want to crawl inside and live there.
Ben Stiller also directed, and he lined himself up with a stellar supporting cast. His mother was played by Shirley MacLaine, his sister was played by the always hilarious Kathryn Hahn. Sean Penn shows up as an eccentric photographer, and I had to admit to a twinge of sadness, because I could still see Spicoli under his weathered facade.
The lesser supports were Kristin Wigg as Walter's love interest, and Adam Scott as Walter's nemesis; he was just plain annoying.
It will rock.Your. World.
