The Curious Case of Bejamin Button

This weekend while visiting my grandparents, for fall break and recovering from illness, I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with my grandma.  The movie is about a boy that is born looking physically old and becomes younger with age.  The movie goes through Benjamin's whole life from his strange childhood being looked after by a woman who was a caretaker for an old folks home and took him in after he was abandoned on her doorstep.  

Being a hopeless romantic, I loved the magical story of Benjamin falling in love, and the chain of events that lead him away and then back to her.  The movie reminded me a lot of the movie, Forest Gump.  It had a narrator, the whole movie was a flashback, and told lots of mini stories.

Overall I thought that the movie was sweet, and worth watching, although really long.  The perfect movie to watch on a rainy day when you are a little under the weather.
