Read that book, then tell me The short story bares almost zero resemblance! :-P @ least they got the general idea correct. The Running man, is the WORST adaptation of a book for film I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The only thing that was kept for that film from the book, was the name.

The short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald bares almost zero resemblance to the feature film with Brad Pitt and the short story certainly is not similar to Forrest Gump.

Being as Button was written in 1921, and Forrest Gump written in the 80s. I rather enjoyed Benjamin Button, it was great to see one of my favorite stories come to life, and not completely suck from the literature at doing it.
