Fantastical, surreal movie about a shy and retiring daydreamer who spends his days escaping into his own world where he is the polar opposite of his conscious being.
When his job is threatened he sets about trying to change his world, for real.
It's cleverly done, gently witty, and really rather sweet. Stiller is great here, and is able to play a weakfish character followed by a strong one in quick succession.
It's a strange film, and can't really be explained, so the best thing to do is to watch it.
n.b. It's nothing to do with the original 1940s film of the same name.
