Ratings and reviews

It starts quite slowly and at first seems like it's gonna be a bit of a soulless CGI film based on the dreams of the protagonist but it shifts into a really inspiring lesson about risk taking and engagement in the world that is really inspiring. A really decent feel good movie. It has some parallels with "Into the wild " written and directed by Sean Pennand I'd bet Stiller took some inspiration from that movie.. Good stuff. IMHO.

Rented this film to see if it was any good. I really don't understand this humour. Same with Dan in the real life. Is it serious or comic? Certain bits made me laugh, other parts were just boring. Not Ben Stiller's best film in my opinion.

Couldn't really understand parts of the film, perhaps because I felt ill at the time but I still payed attention and couldn't understand why certain things happened, it seemed to get boring once it got over halfway through so I'm gonna give it another watch
