I was really hyped to see this movie. It looked good. It had a very unique premise. Ends up, it was pretty good ... the story resembles "Forrest Gump" - and whatta you know - Eric Roth who also wrote Forrest Gump penned the screenplay. In critical reviews - the movie was even called "Forrest Gramps".
Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies - this movie has so many of the same elements and same "dumb southerner accents" that it's hard to get Forrest Gump lines out of your head while watching it.
Here's a summary from IMDB:
... a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences.
The makeup and special effects are groundbreaking but surprisingly might have been honed in "Little Man".I suppose the story might have more significance to you if you've ever dated a significantly older person ... such as I have. There's an interesting dynamic regarding this scenario.
I enjoyed it and I'd recommend it ... I'd maybe just wait for it on video if you've missed it in theaters so far.
