I'd seen the previews for this film and quite liked the look of it. It's about a guy played by Ben Stiller (more dramatic than comedic) who's a bit of a day dreamer and in his day dreams he's a lot more interesting and heroic than he is in real life. This film follows the adventure he goes on to solve a problem at work (he manages the photographs at the fictional 'Life' magazine) that gets him out of that unadventurous rut. There's also a bit of a love interest story running through it featuring Kristen Wiig, who I love.
I was a bit disappointed. It's not bad, but it's not fantastic. If you're lucky enough to get to the movies often perhaps you'd include it in your wish list but if not, I'd give it a miss.
To provide you with an alternative view, there's this four star review in the UK Mirror. Certainly more glowing than I'd give it.
Get the downlow on the story line in the trailer here.
