I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night in the theater and have to say I am still thinking about it 24 hours later. The other reviewers are right that it is long but does a great job of keeping your interest. Brad Pitt was impressive in his range and depth. I am not a big pop culture guy so I don't really have a love hate relationship with him like many people do.

The whole idea of being born as an old person with a young mind and then "aging in reverse" is a fascinating and intriguing basis of a thought provoking movie. It is fun to watch Benjamin experience life in reverse and the effect that it has on those people around him. So if you are up for a movie that is a bit out of the ordinary but thought provoking, than I would highly recommend The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

That's exactly what happens.

If Brad Pitt started as a young boy in an old man's body then shouldn't the end of the movie be that he's an old man in a baby's body? hmmm...

I really didn't think i was going to like this movie but it was great i couldn't move off the couch it was sad, funny, and loving all at the same time. It lets people know anything is possible. i loved it. five thumbs up!!!
