This isn't really a comedy. It had its comedic aspects, and there are a few scenes where it goes solely for laughs. However, I found those scenes (the Benjamin Button parody and the superhero fight in particular) to detract from the movie. It's Walter's quest, not his fantasies, that make for a warm, fun movie where you really pull for him and feel for his ups and downs. Apart from the story, the cinematography and artistic style are amazing, evolving with our protagonist throughout the movie.

The pacing and tone of the movie shifts more times than Madonna's looks. Some genuinely beautiful scenes and creative chances on describing the apathy many develop towards life make it worth a watch. The feel good finale doesn't quite ring true or as inspiring as they intend but there is a warm human story to mitty to enjoy if you let it.

Great movie but in my opinion it didn't make me laugh, sure I chuckle here and there but for me it was that much I though. At first that it was an adventure only movie since he goes aroung the world (no spoilers) but since in this case they categorize it as being a "Comedy", well I would say this, they are movies that succeed on it others fail on it and this movie would the case, it was a flop not good at all. But taking that for aside, the movie is awesome, totally recommend it for adventure no comedy...
