Absolute Rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2009)

Please take my warning - this movie is a total waste of your time and money.
1. The plot is absurd - if such a thing were to happen Benjamin would have been a world wide celebrity with a completely different life.
2. Other than the basic plot telling how he grows younger, the story of Benjamin's life is absolute humdrum stuff - yawn yawn yawn. Nothing unusual happens him - one might as well be a fly on the wall in Joe Average home.
3. The articulation of the actors is Terrible. The link character, Daisy as an old woman, is so slurred in speech that only 1 word in ten is comprehensible.
4. Brad Pitt was totally flat and boring. If he wins an Oscar for that drivel the whole institution will stink.
5. The punch line of the film, 'Whatever age you are everyone can always achieve their dreams' is even greater rubbish than the film itself. It is a typical Hollywood piece of schmulch that makes any intelligent person puke.
I had to fight sleep all the way through this garbage - when really good films like Edenlake are ignored in the Oscars and this drivel picks up 13 nominations it proves that the whole show is rigged.
