Member Rating:  
David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, re-teams the director with Brad Pitt, who takes on the title role. What makes Button such a curious case is that when he is born in New Orleans just after World War I, he is already in his eighties, and proceeds to live his life aging in reverse. This sweeping film follows the character's unusual life into the 21st century as he experiences joy and sadness, loves lost and found, and the meaning of timelessness. Cate Blanchett co-stars along with Tilda Swinton, Elias Koteas, and Julia Ormond. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

    Wow. Not what I thought it was about. Good movie. Good story line. We loved it! Thumbs up for this one! Taraji P. Henson showed her acting skills in this one!

    Overall, this movie was okay, but it did get boring in the middle. Lots of good people in it! But, it could have probably been condensed to less than 2 hours (rather than the 2 1/2 hours it ended up being) without losing the storyline.
