4 stars, A-
This movie was about a man who is born old. His mother dies in child birth and his father freaks out once he sees his wrinkled baby who looks like and 8o year old man in a baby's body. He takes the baby to the doorstep of a senior home. The lady who runs the place takes him home and loves him no matter what he looks like. as the years go by the child grows taller but still looks old but he seems to be getting younger. There is a girl who is his age but she is growing older as he is growing younger. The movie is about the man named Benjamin and how he goes out and discovers the world despite his odd condition. There is an impossible love story that really got me hooked. The movie is long but it is very good. There are lessons to be learned in the movie. One thing I got out of it was to make the best of things and the thankful for what you have. Benjamin not once complains about his condition, he accepts it and he doesn't let it get in the way. He goes out and experiences life the same way anyone would. In the end of the movie it mentions how everyone is born to do certain things, we are all meant for something and that gave me the impression that he did accept himself for the way he was. I would recommend this movie for an older audience. There are a couple questionable scenes and a little sexual content. So I would not recommend it for younger viewers.
