b'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a warm, fuzzy Forest-Gumpian tale of a deadbeat dad and his deadbeat dad son. Fincher\\u2019s take on this (very loose) F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation is a departure of sorts from his thriller-tinged canon thus far. This is Fincher at his most romantic, and even still he manages to inject action, humor and slick, stylized camera work into the mix. It\\u2019s a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.\\n\\nJoin us next week for\\xa0The Social Network.\\n\\nJoin the conversation:\\xa0Leave us a Review\\xa0| The Social Network Forum\\xa0|\\xa0directpodcast@gmail.com'
