I liked this but a lot of it could've been tightened up. It didn't need the 15-20 minutes beginning intro showing 1 of the families long drive to the resort. It was pointless & you have to listen to them sing in the car. Also pointless was the hotel scenes of people ordering food & drinks. I could of done without watching the parents fight in the hotel room while their two kids were scared & hugged in the other room. Who wants to watch a couple talk about their marriage problems, whether they should tell their kids they're separating & stuff like that? All you want is to get to the beach scenes where they get old!! Once you get to the beach it starts getting good. I liked watching the skinny blond model grow old. She has a calcium deficiency which made her grow a hump on her back. She's not used to looking old & ugly & neither is her husband the doctor. When her face starts loking haggard he yells at her to go put some makeup on. She can't deal with it & goes to hide in the rocks. That's when she really starts aging. Her arms & legs start breaking. It's intense. I could of done without the doctor going mental. He kept talking nonsense about a movie. I really liked this though & think almost everyone would enjoy it. I can't see anyone getting bored & turning it off. Just fast forward thru the first 15-20 minutes until everyone's at the beach. The aging process is so fast. People age like 50 years in 1 hour. The kids are fun to watch grow from 6 years old to 50. There's an interesting scene of two 6 year olds playing in the sand together a boy & a girl. It switches to the adults & then when they show the kids again the little 6 year old girl is pregnant. That was weird because who thinks about kids that age sneaking off & having intercourse? So she ends of having a baby on the beach. This movie will freak you out. Watch it!
