10/10
Great parody
4 July 2021
In "Don't Press Benjamin's Buttons", writer and director Craig Robert Young creates a hilarious spoof on Fincher "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and uses as basis as well many lines from "Forrest Gump", and as trivia comes the fact both films were written by the great Oscar winner Eric Roth.

The presentation with a digital camera is kinda corny but the film works. Funny lines and moments such as Benjamin's father abandoning him ("What am I supposed to do with an ugly baby?") or old Benjamin making dance moves on the floor to the sound of Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal' among others are hysterical. And the story flows just like Fincher's film and the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This is a must-see by all accounts, lots of fun and you get to see Luke Evans in one of his earliest roles. 10/10.
