Not a lot of reviews from imdb.com yet, but it looks like a winner! 8.7/10 1,524 votes. The critics love it too - rottentomaotes.com shows Reviews Counted: 116 Fresh: 85 Rotten:31 Average Rating: 7.3/10

Reviews have been mostly favorable, and we had planned to see this this weekend, but almost every friend I know who's seen it was underwhelmed. We may go see Slumdog Millionaire tonight instead.

Slumdog Millionaire is the second best film I've seen this year (Milk is first, but I still haven't seen Wire Man or whatever it's called, which is supposed to be exceptional, or The Wrestler, which will allegedly make me think Mickey Rourke is an amazing actor). Button is very very good, but it's not in the same league as those two. Then again, I don't think it means to be.

Best film I've seen this year is Gran Torino. Very intense movie, great acting.

I thought the love affair was a little lacking in intensity. Somehow I wasn't invested in the two of them together. Benjamin's story is very compelling, but it didn't seem enhanced by the story with Daisy. Other than that it's very good.

I saw this yesterday with my BFF and we both thought the movie was very well done. You are correct that Benjamin's story is very compelling. I'm not one to cry, but this movie had me wiping a tear or two during the last half of the movie.

I saw it too and I agree Kitt -- there was just something lacking for me in the romance. I'm not sure I found her all that likable?? Not sure what it was. But I did enjoy the film, shed several tears.

I saw this tonight and I thought it was good but long. But I must say that Brad was smokin' hot. I did cry a bit at the sad ending.

Liked it, but the ending bothered me. Can't get past him "Growing down". The being born old I can handle, but to me if he had just keep getting younger looking and his mind getting younger (emotions etc) then it would have been more reasonable. Bones don't shrink like that.
