This is a movie for people who swallowed Benjamin Button, and it’s a big, absurd, melodramatic, slightly creepy bore. Eric Bana suffers from a genetic disorder that causes him to frequently dematerialize and pop up in a different timeline (naked, and usually flashing a little Bana-butt). Who thinks this stuff up? What would Darwin think? All this obviously causes difficulties for wife Rachel McAdams (talk about commitment problems!), whom he first meets when she is 6 and he 36 (Humbert Humbert?). The filmmakers simply ignore the potential metaphysical mayhem and concentrate on the cornball.
