The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The screenwriter of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" also wrote "Forrest Gump". The two movies share the same easygoing pace, amiable main characters, and, in spite of a number of action sequences, a passive quality. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is intelligent and well-crafted, but it is neither smart nor clever. And that's why it's good.
