"It's funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us" - Benjamin Button

Why watch this? The concept is so uniquely original - that and its stellar cast. 

Plot Summary: This tells the story of a man who ages in reverse, born as an old man and growing physically younger over time. Abandoned by his father, he is raised in a nursing home and experiences life and relationships from a unique perspective.

Dad's Preview: I love this creative film about a baby who is born in 1918, with the appearance and illnesses of an old man. As the years go by, he grows younger. We follow him through adventures and romances. It's painful, especially as the reality sets in that he will soon be returned to a baby, his life forgotten, his body needing infantile care. Living a life in reverse carries a sadness to it, and that should help us value time, and spend it more prudently.
