Even with amazing moments, this movie fails to impress

Rating: 7/10 (2 February 2009)

This really wasn't a bad movie. But it didn't make me think "Wow, what an amazing movie." It had some very good scenes in it, like the seen with the little girl and Benjamin under the table. But ultimately, it was dreadfully dull. I didn't like how almost every 5 minutes, we got cut back in to the hospital. I know Julia Ormond was telling this story, but still. It got old.
Brad Pitt was okay as Benjamin but not great. If you think about it, he didn't really have that difficult of a character to play. I didn't hate this movie, but I certainly won't see this again. I don't think it deserved the nominations it got.
