The fantasy concept here is intriguing: what would life be like if you stopped aging at 29? Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) was born in San Francisco on New Year's Day, 1908. At age 29, grief-stricken widow Adaline drowned in an automobile accident, after which she was struck by lightning, which triggered a bizarre phenomenon: Adaline revived, only to discover that she was blessed/cursed with eternal youth. Adaline understands that her never-changing appearance causes complications, but there are also rewards (she bought stock in a small company called Xerox at its inception). In the 1950s, when the FBI grows suspicious, Adaline realizes that she will have to switch her name and residence each decade, keeping everyone at an emotional distanceâexcept for her now-elderly daughter (Ellen Burstyn). And then romance strikes. Working in the San Francisco archive, elegant and lonely Adaline (now called Jenny) is spotted by a tech-wealthy historian/philanthropist (Michiel Huisman). Maddeningly elusive, Adaline eventually agrees to visit his parents' home to celebrate their 40th anniversaryâwhere she is recognized by his astronomer father (Harrison Ford). Blending elements from Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, filmmaker Lee Toland Krieger's implausible melodrama ultimately does little more than evoke nostalgia. Optional. (S. Granger) Copyright Video Librarian Reviews 2015.
