A sleeper hit when released in 1992, this romantic fantasy works as a comedic adventure & a gentle tearjerker thanks to Mel Gibsons 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 & is thawed out 50 years later by two young boys. They bring the confused pilot home to Nats single mom, Claire . Theres a hint of romance, but Daniel desperately needs to know if Helen really died in 1939, & he discovers that love has a way of surviving a half-century leap in time. The premise of Forever Young is hokey & certain plot details are conveniently ignored, but Gibson, Curtis, & Elijah Wood hold it together with irresistible charm & just the right balance of fantasy & drama.
