Not really worth watching

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2009)

This movie is way to long for how hokey the storyline is. It's about a man who was born to be an old man, though he somehow retained his infant appearance and affect. Well, that is if you ignore the arthritis and wrinkles. He had some very far-fetched unbelievable medical condition. To make matters worse at the age of about 13 he really looks 70, and he falls in love with a little girl....it's a little strange. By the time of the end of the story, she's an old woman and he is a small child. I guess you could call it star-crossed love, but I didn't find it convincing. That's just my two cents. If you think this movie looks good feel free to watch it, you might like it more than I did. It has a few redeeming qualities. The cinematography was really good. Also, Brad Pitt is actually okay in this movie. There are also some very funny quotes. But it really takes a lot more than that to make a good movie.
