Editorial Review:
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 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 [Region 2] Reviews:
Excellent cast.
2008-10-10 - Forever Young is a good and romantic drama. The story is a bit soapy but I believe this film was written by J.J. Abrams who went on to bigger and better things. The cast is extraordinary here with stars like Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and a young Elijah Wood. I like this film, brings back a lot of great memories, check it out sometime!

Great romance
2008-09-27 - I had never seen this movie before purchasing it, but it was only upon the first viewing that I fell in love with the sweet romance with all of its devotion. There is true emotion in this movie, from romance to friendship to family and everything inbetween, all combined with a delightful little bit of very realistic science fiction that makes this fantastical story believable, if not necessarily plausible--hence the fantasy. This is in Mel Gibson's glory days, where we can stare at his handsomeness as he plays a common man, a pilot... who finds himself waking up after decades frozen in time. Jamie Lee Curtis is making the most of her own romantic days, and the chemistry between her and Gibson is commendable. Still, it is the story itself that makes this movie truly enchanting.

A decent but predictable movie.
2008-06-19 - Mel is back again, and he does pretty well in this one.
A good script and good acting make what would have been an average movie into something far above average.
It was marketed as a movie for kids and adults, I have a hard time agreeing with that due to the fact that Mr. Gibson's rear end is shown AGAIN!!!!!
Can the guy do a movie without showing his butt?
Cover your kids eyes for that scene, otherwise it's a touching, feel good movie with a great cast and a tear jerky ending.


No wide screen edition yet
2008-06-12 - With a very strong casting with Mel Gibson, Jaime Lee Curtis, George Wendt and a young Elijah Wood, the movies is successfully directed by Steve Miner (yes, he directed parts 2 and 3 of Friday the 13th). A touching romance with a bit of comedy and action thrown in. The scenes with a vintage B-25 are remarkable. The fact that the lighthouse scene at the end with the house and a hidden 2,000 runway being built out of nowhere (the B-25 didn't actually land on the rough ground as it was hinted at). Small note, that B-25 used in that closing scene can be found at the Palm Springs Air Museum in California as Mitch the Witch II.

A fantastic movie but the only caveat is that the movie was never released in widescreen even though it was shot in that format. The fact that the movie doesn't have any bonus features is reasons behind the 3 star rating. Also it's been out so long you'd figure there would be an anniversary edition, widescreen, cast/director's commentary, bonus features and a Blu-Ray edition out there but that is not to be.

FOREVER YOUNG
2008-05-24 - Although the number of fine performances that Mel Gibson has performed are many, this is one of his "VERY BEST". Much action and a wonderful story line. No dull moments in this film ! A true Love Story with heart. One for the ages. A CLASSIC INDEED !
