I think when producers stake claim as the upcoming blockbuster holiday film 6 months or more in advance, that they owe it to us to deliver on something meaningful or memorable. I honestly think the only two things I'll remember about this were the "old" infant and the funny Teen Wolf-ish makeup job on Brad Pitt attempting to make him look 20.<BR/><BR/>Great opportunity to look at life in a different way, and they blew it.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539745730437523827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-75450371712184833592009-01-30T18:50:00.000-06:002009-01-30T18:50:00.000-06:00I hated this movie.

This movie had no opinion about anything.<BR/><BR/>The "I wish I knew then what I know now" concept has been done before to varying degrees of success (Big, Peggy Sue, Vice Versa, etc.), but I was really looking forward to CCBB because we would get to *watch* Ben gain his wisdom, rather than be instantly transported like the other movies. Plus it's Fincher and Pitt, together again. Had to be great. But it stunk and I'm kind of angry about it.Toughskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622326643015737422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-6078623058768086522009-01-30T17:55:00.000-06:002009-01-30T17:55:00.000-06:00I think it must be the Maneater Angelina Curse.I think it must be the Maneater Angelina Curse.Allison Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405696882210078155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-65822874698791434212009-01-29T18:08:00.000-06:002009-01-29T18:08:00.000-06:00Phew -- you just saved us $14!

We thought the story, though original, was not told well and reminded us of Forest Gump. <BR/><BR/>See this clip if you aren't yet convinced:<BR/><BR/>http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/1d76506803/the-curious-case-of-forrest-gump-from-fgump44danyellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148131927242648374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185557084781093844.post-60591316255498714242009-01-29T11:29:00.000-06:002009-01-29T11:29:00.000-06:00Okay, I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not going to r...Okay, I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not going to read all this. :-) But I still really want to... I'll just go in with lower expectations, and then hopefully I won't be too disappointed.
