Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune A ripoff screenplay as shameless as this might survive if the casting were particularly good. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Barry McIlheney Empire Magazine Relying on his star name, the film doesn't have to be great and isn't, although Gibson and Curtis try their hardest. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Remarkably, the director manages to toe the line of melodrama without ever slipping over into camp, balancing those elements with humor and suspense to carry "Forever Young," if not over the moon, at least up in the clouds. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ There’s no emotional epiphany of the mistake he might have made, just a rom-com-esque race against the clock that’s more a showcase for what could be done with make-up to rapidly age a character... Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 8, 2022 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Hollywood used to churn out this kind of fluff with practised ease and it's a pity director Steve Miner couldn't have found the same winning formula here. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Rated: 2/5 Nov 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

EverEddie 5 I love this movie. Great cast and storyline. You have planes, comedy, drama and romance all in one movie. I have watched this over 20 times and still love it. Older movie but still holds its charm to this day. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Strandy85 Forever Young? Should be called 'Quickly Old'! A Strange movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Courtney H Well, I normally DESPISE sappy, romantic movies! But, for some reason I really enjoyed this movie when I first saw it in the '90's, & every time after that. I thought Mel Gibson & the children did a wonderful acting job! This has always been one of my Fav. movies.... ever since I was a little girl. If u haven't seen it, you really should make sure you check it out. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Tony M Forever Young is not considered to be one of Mel Gibsons best films but I really like it. It's a simple story but well acted with a satisfying ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Steve D Melodramatic but often unintentionally funny. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
