Certainly not for children, as far as the representation of moral ethics goes. (Maybe adults shouldn't watch it, either.) I sat and watched innocent Benjamin go from a respectful, moral fellow to a drinking, sex addict. It's sad, but that's how this world likes to portray the adult society. It's so common now that people don't realize how much we have evolved from the Christ-centered, moral people we used to be. <br /> As far as the acting and story line goes, it's a fantastic story that will make you think about life.

It's sad to see so much talent and effort gone to waste but what exactly is appealing about this story ? Why on earth would a little girl and a seemingly old man find themselves bonded to each other in the first place ? Why don't Guiness/Ripley or the media stop by when what you've got here is the ultimate freak story ?. The only fun I had throughout this movie was making a list of the similarities with Forrest Gump which run in the several dozens. The Katrina back-story could have been of interest but at the end, all they used it for is as an excuse to flood a room ! This movie has easily the best aging effects in history but you end up noticing you spend most of the time evaluating them instead of getting involved with the story which is the basic symptom that this movie fails. <br /> Rating: 2 / 5 Oscar nomination or not, this is the most boring movie I’ve seen since MEET JOE BLACK.

Rating: 2 / 5 Heh. An Overlong, romance infested demonstration of special effects and how they benefit the film.

Special Effects?

Boo-Yah

Lots?

Yes

Realistic?

Miles from Realistic, My Friends

GOOD Special Effects Are Supposed To Be Realistic.

Now My Criticism for the rest of the film:
COMPLETE BOGUS
EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE WAS A LOAD OF WET POOP
The Script Was Something Found In A Screenwriter’s Trash Can

If You Still Want To View It, Rent It Before You Buy It.

I can't believe how much aclaim it received. It was silly, stupid and pointless. This just goes to show you that in hollywood, looks are all that matter.....because that is what sells tickets at the box-office! Rating: 1 / 5 What a ridiculous film.
