someone already started a thread on this in the "drama" section...
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!! Including Brad Pitt.. He did such a great job.. even though it was sad.
I loved the movie too. I know that it has been on lists of worst movies of 2000 and beyond, but I think its partially because it is long...I like a long movie every once and a while and I loved this one.
Too long & sad. Can't say i cared for it.
It was my favorite movie of that year until I saw THE READER. It was one of the few movies that I thought the over rated Cate Blanchett did a decent job.
I'm so glad to hear good things from you all about this film! I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it seems like Tom takes any chance he gets to slam it. I enjoyed this film VERY much on its release and I've never stopped. I don't mind that it's long, Cate Blanchett is one of the best actresses working PERIOD, and I think the way special effects were used to de-age the actors is one of the truly groundbreaking uses of such technology in recent years. And it's used in a way that assists the story, they're not just effects for effects sake. An emotional story and I liked the production values, too.
Quite right. THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is a movie that will never forget or forgive, that deserves to be slammed at every opportunity.Opinions differ, of course. Glad you dig it, Rachel.
