How are you all today? I watched a movie the other day and although I made it through it in two sittings, I’m not sure I would recommend it. I have to say it was quite boring. The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons I think it is basically Forest Gump just not as entertaining in my opinion. The film starts Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. I don’t think I have seen a film with her in it that I can say I liked. My biggest issue with the film is it just goes to slow, I felt like I was waiting the whole time for something to happen. Sadly, nothing ever did. The film is rated PG-13 and runs for two hours and 46 minutes. Way too long for that movie, so much could have been cut out of the movie. The movie was released in 2008. It was nominated for 13 academy awards and won 3 of them so I guess someone liked the movie. As you can guess, I wouldn’t suggest wasting almost three hours watching this one.

I've never seen the film, but considering the awards it should be good.

Sounds like "The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons" wasn't your cup of tea! It's always interesting to see how different people react to the same movie. Thanks for sharing your honest review. I loved that movie.

I have heard of it but never watched it. When it came out the previews didn't look like it would be an interesting movie. Sorry you spent that time watching it since it was a bomb.

Yeah, it never looked interesting, but I was bored and thought I would give it a try. I have seen worse movies, so I guess that something. LOL
