The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Reviews
#1020 in DVD

Description

'I was born under unusual circumstances.' And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans, from the end of World War I in 1918 into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button, is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

    My mom and I watched this the other night. It was okay... worth watching for the unique story and famous faces, but it seems like it was pretty predictable and like a lot of it had already been given away in all the media surrounding it.

    That said there were some little funny bits, that gave the movie a bit more "oomph". Definitely see it, but don't expect it to be amazing.
