The hubby and I rarely go to movies. We just don't have the time with the remodel in full swing and all. There were a couple of movies that I just HAD to make room for in our hectic schedules, and one of them was THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON.
I was warned beforehand that I had better have an empty bladder before the movie started because there would be no time for a potty break once the movie began rolling.......and she was right! WOW!!! I learned so much from this movie that I just had to share it with you!
THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED:
1. Ugly babies should not be given away, they could grow up to be REALLY cute.
2. There are A LOT of people having A LOT of s.e.x.
3. NEVER sit in a movie beside your son's friends especially if there is going to be A LOT of s.e.x. in the movie. (I had to clarify the last part! hehehehe)
4. Women sometimes refer to their "partners" in a formal manner. Ex. "Mister Weathers".
5. There are A LOT of people having A LOT of s.e.x. (And they aren't even married to each other!!!)
6. NEVER, I repeat NEVER take your child backstage after a dance performance as the dancers tend to run around half naked and the male dancers don't look like they wear any undies either.
7. NEVER sit in a movie theater beside your son's friends especially if there are going to be scenes backstage after a dance performance.
8. There are A LOT of people having A LOT of s.e.x.
9. Some people tend to attract lightning.
10. A tugboat can sink a submarine.
11. Caviar is to be enjoyed with vodka. (I think that is supposed to mean you have class-whatev!)
12. Don't dance in the street.
13. There are A LOT of people having A LOT of s.e.x. (Is my age showing yet?)
14. If we have been hurt by someone, especially someone we love, we have to let it go.
15. I wouldn't give up the life I am living for anything!
It was a great story line. It was totally different from the original short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I would just suggest you not sit beside your son's friends, that's all.
PS- After I read this to my hubby, he said he thought the only people not having s.e.x. were us. I had to assure him that our son's friend wasn't either. I'm not sure about the rest of the patrons in the theater though.
