Brad Pitt Stars in this visually entrancing movie about a man named Benjamin who's life is spent aging backwards. Based on the novel of the same name by F Scott Fitzgerald, the movie feels reminiscent of Forrest Gump in that the movie details the strange but interesting life of the main character while he narrates his story. The difference is the director David Fincher keeps the movie a little darker and more mysterious than other movies of the like. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchet gave amazing performances and the movie was filled with intriguing characters. The only flaw I found in the movie is that it is a bit long and seems to drag at some points. The increased local ticket prices of $7.25 for a matinee may discourage seeing this in the theaters but Benjamin Button is definitely worth the rental when the movie's out on DVD.
Rated PG-13 Run Time: 166 Minutes Grade: B-
