The Intriguing Tale of Edward Edmonton

The only movie I'm looking forward to seeing this Christmas is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button because it seems like it's the only film that wasn't made specifically for Christmas. Then again, my only other options are a remake and two "feel good movies" But I'll save those rants for later.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is about a boy named Benjamin who's born an old man and as he ages, he seems to become younger. It's kind of like that Robin Williams movie from the times of olde, only in reverse and presumably more enjoyable. Benjamin falls in love with a girl named Daisy and the two sort of have to deal with this peculiarity as she ages and he grows young.
I think I'm mostly curious to see what happens when the two become middle-aged. Better yet, what happens to Benjamin when he actually reaches 80 years? Does he die an infant? Well, it's supposed to be based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald so I really won't have to wait for Christmas day to find out. After, I guess I'll decide if it's worth watching.
