The Age of Adaline | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

"The Age of Adaline" greatly works as meet-in-the-middle compromise date movie that easily works for women and doesn't have enough really awful parts to scare away the men.

Going from offbeat art-house to high-end mainstream with lush production values that would have been at home in the 50s, director Lee Toland Krieger approaches the material in much the same manner as Adaline lives her life.

A silly movie that requires an almost impossible level of suspension of disbelief but somehow the metaphysical melodrama, with its lovely design and strong performances over comes the ridiculous plotlines to become an almost timeless romance.

The excessively science-fiction-steeped setup only undermines the parts that work.

The joy of Lively's performance is that she creates a sympathetic and appealing character out of Adaline.
