A Little Review on Ben Buttons

I would call it, "Leading Character gets progressively younger as Audience gets Older"

I'd give it a thumbs up but much longer and a little self-serving at times. I spent most on the time wondering if Brad P. was under all that cinemagic or a little person. It tried to be poignant too many times and the humor seemed awkward. always afraid the story might border on something a little sick. No plot. Just Character study...

Parental warning: Sex scenes, prostitution.

Emitophobia warning: one throw-up scenes.

Tokophobia warning: two birthing scenes.

Lilapsophobia warning: One Hurricane, seven lightening strikes and one pretty bad storm.

Audience clapped at the end. What was that all about? Some I guess thought it was a little more important that I percieved it to be.

"Poignant' is the correct spelling.

I'm with you brother. I thought it was plotless. I thought the lightning scenes were funny though...I don't know why...comic relief that the guy lived through 7 lightning strikes.

I hear tell it was better the first time around, when it was called Forrest Gump.

definitely better the first time around:-) Pitt is no Hanks. And Benj. is no Forrest.
