Storyline

- TriviaAll Greenland scenes were shot in Iceland.
- GoofsThe dogs shown outside in Greenland are not authentic Greenlandic sled dogs, the only dogs allowed in Greenland. This is only true north of latitude 66, and Nuuk is well south of this. In fact, Greenland Dogs are likewise not allowed south of the 66th, specifically to avoid interbreeding.

Sean O'Connell: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.
- Crazy creditsThe making and authorized distribution of this film supported over 15,000 jobs and involved hundreds of thousands of work hours.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that their preferred PG classification could be obtained by making limited changes, including to remove sight of naked female pin-up pictures and to reduce violent threat in a fight scene. When an edited version of the film was submitted for formal classification, these scenes had been addressed and the film was consequently classified PG.

Featured review
'Tropic Thunder', 'The Cable Guy', 'Zoolander'... Ben Stiller has created some entertaining comedies, but 'Walter Mitty' is by far his most audacious piece of direction so far. The story is solid and the cinematography is stunning, Stiller has created an utterly mesmerising spectacle that follows the same basis of the 1947 classic starring Danny Kaye. Whilst I found the majority of the film charming and entertaining, it's the beautiful cinematography from Stuart Dryburgh that really sells this flick, and in my opinion should have been worthy of an Oscar- nomination at the least. One of the most entertaining comedy-dramas I have seen in recent years, a film that Stiller should be proud of.
