Ted has been tasked with overseeing the final issue, and luckily the mail brings the latest series of negatives from revered photojournalist Sean OíConnell (Sean Penn), including one that he claims in an accompanying letter is the best photo heís ever taken. Walter quickly butts heads with Ted (Adam Scott), a corporate shark who has been put in charge of ending the magazineís print edition and converting the publication to a website that will be called Life Online.

What they donít know is that Walter has a rich fantasy life, and his spacey episodes find him imagining any number of things most recently, heís been daydreaming about how to impress new co-worker Cheryl (Kristen Wiig). Heís a quiet and meek man whom others find bizarre because he often zones out - sometimes in mid-conversation. The director stars as the title character, a devoted employee at Life magazine whoís in charge of all of the photo negatives that arrive at the publication. After finding his directorial voice with a series of pop-culture satires that culminated in the pitch-perfect, Hollywood-skewering Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller changes gears with an adaptation of the classic James Thurber short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a movie with an earnest, humanistic message thatís a substantive break from his previous work.
