"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" movie quotes follow the adventures in this fantasy movie where one man goes on a trip of a lifetime. The drama film was adapted into a screenplay by Steve Conrad and is the second film based on the 1939 short story by James Thurber. Ben Stiller directed the movie, which he also stars in, which opened on December 25, 2013.
In "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," the title character, portrayed by Ben Stiller, works at LIFE magazine but has done little else with his life except daydream about exciting adventures and romance. When he's unable to use an online dating site to wink at his love interest, coworker Cheryl Melhoff (Kristen Wiig), because of his lack of life experiences, along with the loss of a needed photo slide for the final cover of the magazine, Walter sets out for an adventure of a lifetime.
In search of the photographer of the missing photo, Walter travels across the world and experiences things he could only ever dream of. Between a hungry shark as he floats in a cold ocean to an erupting volcano, Walter seeks out the exciting life experiences he was lacking. But there's still one thing he wants in life, the girl. Adam Scott, Sean Penn, Shirley MacLaine, Patton Oswalt and Kathryn Hahn co-star in the film.
