Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
A sleeper hit when released in 1992, this romantic fantasy works as a comedic adventure and a gentle tearjerker thanks to Mel Gibson's appealing performance. He plays Daniel, a daring test pilot who is deeply distraught by the apparent death of his girlfriend, Helen, in 1939. Feeling little reason to live, he volunteers for a pioneering cryogenics experiment and is thawed out 50 years later by two young boys. They bring the confused pilot home to Nat's single mom, Claire (Jamie Lee Curtis). There's a hint of romance, but Daniel desperately needs to know if Helen really died in 1939, and he discovers that love has a way of surviving a half-century leap in time. The premise of Forever Young is hokey and certain plot details are conveniently ignored, but Gibson, Curtis, and Elijah Wood (as Nat) hold it together with irresistible charm and just the right balance of fantasy and drama. --Jeff Shannon

Forever Young.....,
By Duchess "Duchess" (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forever Young (Full Screen) (DVD)
Here is a movie with Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis in it. The storyline is well put together and we find that these two really play their roles well. If you also like a movie with a touch of romance in it, you may like this one too.

This review is from: Forever Young (Full Screen) (DVD)
Staring Mel Gibson, this is an entertaining family movie with just a smidgen of science fiction. But where's the theatrical widescreen edition? Sorry, but I only purchase DVDs displaying the film's ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO.
