Forrest Gump Backwards?

Rating: 5/10 (19 March 2009)

This movie seemed interesting enough when I saw the previews for it. After seeing the movie though I couldn't help but think that this movie was a rip off of Forrest Gump. It has a similar plot of telling the story of a guys life, but it just is not as good. It is like a less interesting Forrest Gump that plays in reverse and is a lot weirder. Even though Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time, this does not even come close. They should name it The Biography of Benjamin Button. It was kind of like Walk the Line or Ray, so if you would like to watch a movie like this, then you might enjoy this movie more than I. The one thing I did appreciate about this movie is that it gives an interesting view of what it would be like to be born old. I guess I just imagined it differently.
