See my revert on the film's page. You usually aren't one to fight reason, but you seem to be today. If editors don't even find Christmas notable enough to mention as a release date, how is Boxing Day notable enough? Why not just leave it at December 26? And as another editor pointed out, how is the UK release even really relevant in the first place? Please, if the release date must stay, stop making it Boxing Day. It isn't helpful at all, especially since the article is for an American film, and 90% of the Americans I've met since moving here tilt their heads at the mention of Boxing Day.
I don't think this film has reliable sources that say it has a cult following. I think an editor may have gotten confused because I see there were reviews at the time that it came out that said it might end up becoming a cult film. But to call it one for sure we'd need to see if any have said that it has since become one and I don't see any if they exist. Popish Plot ( talk) 18:33, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Can someone please explain this section to me? It confuses me, as The Matrix isn't even mentioned in the two repetitious sentences and the references applied are inadequate:
"Influences
The Matrix
When Walter lands at Nuuk in Greenland, he needs to hire a car by choosing between two Daewoo Matiz,[37] a blue or a red one.[38][39] Therefore he asks the man in the airport booth: "Do you have any cars available?" "Yeah, we have a blue one and a red one", the man replies. "I'll take the red one", says Walter.[40][41][42][43]"
So, these are a lot of references that don't amount to a hill of beans. You may be correct in your analysis - regarding the car choice scene & The Matrix" - but if no other reliable source is found that says that, then this is original research and should be removed.

I’ve added a section on accuracy. Walter Mitty is a character with some real-world significance, so if we have sections on the accuracy of historical films, or comparisons with novels, then we should have a comparison between the portrayal in this film and how he is generally perceived, I think.

I thought the film was ambiguous as to whether Mitty's success is real or all the adventures are one extended daydream? In which case the film's characterisation would not be so much of a significant deviation from the popular understanding or Thurberer's idea — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.114.245 ( talk) 20:06, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
The Australian release of this film is 110 minutes (1h:50m) whereas the US release is 114 mins (1h:54m) I'd like to know more about the difference edits. I've found a reference to a scene including one or more friends of Richard Melhoff, Cheryl's son, but there is no such scene in the AUS release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zollo9999 ( talk • contribs)
