A real sleeper of a movie, "Forever Young" is actually one of Mel Gibson's best movies, and it one of those feel good films that actually ends well.

The plot is simple and imaginative. Daniel McCormick, a test pilot from the late 1930s falls in love, only to have to watch his love succumb to illness and lay lifeless in a coma. He convinces a friend to use him instead in a cryogenic experiment with the intentions of being awoken a year later.

But when his chamber is accidently defrosted, he soon discovers that it's 53 years later.

Strong but properly understated performances make this a sweet little film for all members of the family, featuring a young Elijah Wood. Jamie Lee Curtis is great as usual and Gibson is perfect for the part.

Highly recommended!
