The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Movie Synopsis

"I was born under unusual circumstances."

And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.

Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

great movie. Not a huge Pitt fan, but he did a great job in this movie. Teraji P. Henson was great!!!!!!! - she definately deserved the oscar.

  I absolutely loved this movie, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett were amazing. He is SO sexy and she is gorgeous, they would make pretty babies in real life lol. If you liked Forest Gump, you will like this. 5 stars

The worst movie ive seen in a very long time. IT dragged on and on and on.It was like napoleon Dynamite except a drama.
