Synopsis: Adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" follows a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century. "Benjamin Button," is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
Starring: Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett
This movie has been getting serious Oscar Buzz for months now -- but its not going to be released until Christmas day. Will the public like it? How will that influence its Oscar chances?
