Re:other negative Benjamin Button reviews
Thats good to know. I haven't seen it, but the whole premise seems to be rather like Big Fish meets Forest Gump meets Jack. It really didn't look that interesting, and truthfully even the preview bored me, not to mention left me wondering what exactly the film was *about*, other than a guy who ages backwards. I'll still see it eventually, due to all the buzz, but I'm full prepared to be under-whelmed.

Ok, I still haven't seen it, nor have I ever read the original F. Scott Fitzgerald story, nor have I read the original Forrest Gump novel. So I can't say where he pulled all of this stuff from, but screenwriter Eric Roth certainly has a lot of story elements in him that he just can't help repeating
