Bring me some solder. This clock is messed up.
60% lead, 40% tin. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The lead was in the director's shoes, because this film just couldn't jump over any hurdles at its screening here at my house. The tin was my ear, because there were long silent periods when the director waited for me to make up my own dialogue. I couldn't. My dog could have picked a better movie for "movie night".
Take an interesting (but very miniscule) idea and stretch it like a rubber chicken. Add Cate and Brad for box office suction, and you've got three academy awards. This film is 0% story, 60% Cate, and 40% Brad. Rake in the dough and kudos from the blind Hollywood establishment, and follow the Pied Piper right into the harbor at New Orleans. Jump on a tug boat or learn to swim. To me, the jigsaw puzzle pieces in this curious case don't fit.
Think about the curious case of the 4 rating on a 1-10 scale, because this is it.

This film is a triple winner... academy award winner, man.
In Topeka, we call this film "horse @x&&v#"
I thought you reviewers were in the bag for Cate Blanchett.
We're going to revoke your certificate. In order to get reinstated, you'll have to do some good reviews and send a letter of apology to David Fincher, Eric Roth, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Just make something up, but make sure it gets lots of publicity.
the reason this film got academy awards is that they hired 96 out of work actors and crews totaling about 2500 people. They had to get lots of votes... they voted for themselves.
"Benjamin Button" was slow...........................man.
This movie sank in New Orleans harbor. F. Scott. Fitzgerald wrote this as a short story. How did it become a 3 hour movie? Curious.
I want to apologize to all who attended the screening. I picked this movie because a friend (whose opinion I respect) recommended it. It was a dud. Send me a note, and I'll refund the money you spent for popcorn.
Please send me a refund.
There was no rubber chicken. Stretch, yes, but the soap opera stuff pulled in the women's vote. I think this is the story of a hot ballet dancer and her personal life. The old guy who got young was just a peripheral footnote.
Listen to the mink. yes.
Was it a silicone chicken or rubber. Taiwan doesn't make rubber anything anymore. Silicone or vinyl or something. Stretch that.
Why do the comments always degenerate, deteriorate, denigrate, deflate, dislocate, and desecrate the hard working pretense flogging film industry? We've got mortgages to pay, too.
