My husband and I agree, this was one of the best movies of the year. Reminiscent of Forrest Gump, it was an epic tale of love and life that is a must see. We laughed out loud a number of times and I found myself crying more than once. Brad Pitt was the only choice for this role. He was superb. He most definitely deserves an award for this role. I am not usually a Cate Blanchett fan, but I must say, she blew us away. This movie was a tale for the ages. It is not often that a story comes along that has never been told before and we were delighted to have chosen this as our traditional Christmas day movie. But, hey, don't take our word or anyone else's on these reviews. Check it out for yourself and you be the judge. For me and my husband personally, we loved it. It was a wonderful way to spend Christmas afternoon and we will be lining up when it comes out on DVD to own this wonderful film. Happy Holidays to all! :)

I got to see the advance screening with Dr. Sanjay Gupta introducing the movie. From start to finish i was intrigued with the cirle of life theme. Its a long film but it keeps its tempo smooth all the way through. This a movie that will make you laugh, cry, ponder life and death and help you to understand your own struggles with love. I think everyone will find something they can relate to in this movie. I loved it and think it will be one for the ages- so to speak

I saw The Curious case of Benjamin Button last night, and found it to be a good movie. The beginning was a bit slower then I like and at 170 minutes long, slow beginnings are not always good movies... However, that is not the case with this one. This movie touches on many facets of human challenges, endeavors and how we cope with what life gives us to deal with it. This movie is not just about Ben Buttons life, but also the people who taught him about life and what life offers us on a daily basis regardless of our upbringings, regardless of the challenges, regardless of our outcomes, and most importantly to achieve our highest potentials by never giving up on ourselves. It touches on many types of "If's" "would have's" "could have's" and how sometimes we sacrifice certain truths about our lives to protect those we love and/or who have loved us enough to give us something better then what we might have had otherwise. In short, it is about the common threads we share in life.

Pay no attention to the people saying this is a long and boring movie. They are obviously the kind of people who need 90 min movies with explosions and other mindless garbage to entertain them. For us grownups who enjoy unique stories, great acting and wonderful directing, this is a movie for you. David Fincher is one of my favorite directors and really shows off his talents here in directing a sprawling and emotional epic. By far one of the best movies of the year and should be nominated for best picture and director. Go see it!

From the time it started, I wished it would end... But noooo, it kept going and going and going for 3 hours. There was so much that could have been cut out. This Benjamin Button had such a terribly bland life. He was born old, lived in a senior citizen home, and was in love with a 7 year old. I think some pedophile wrote the screenplay in prison. The only entertaining character was the man who was struck by lightening seven times. The plot was unrealistic, and it was excruciatingley boring. Seven out of seven of us gave this movie a thumbs down. I am considering calling the police to report a crime. This movie robbed me of 3 hours of my life that I will never get back!! If you care about yourself and your loved ones, you will avoid this movie at all costs. Trust me, stairing at a wall for 3 hours would be much more entertaining!
