OK, I am not really a fan of Ben Stiller films and when I saw this advertised I tuned out. Then my daughters said they wanted to see it and being the totally awesome fathers that I am I put aside my opinions and took them to see it. Well.....I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised to see Stiller in a role that wasn't just him goofing around. I could relate to his character somewhat in regards to being a bit of a daydreamer myself and perhaps the feeling that if I'd travelled the world would that make me a more interesting person. This film kind of answered that for me. no it wouldn't. The films overall message for me was that perhaps the greatest adventure is finding (and holding on to) love. A nice bit of escapism and lovely cinematography made this a surprising find for me. I enjoyed it and so did my kids.
