Movie bears more resemblance to "Max Tivoli"

Now that I've read the Benjamin Button story, which is a slight little fable with little character development but a funny sense of humor, I think that Andrew Sean Greer, author of 2004's "The Confessions of Max Tivoli," should be looking to screenwriter Eric Roth for some film credit. Quote from "Tivoli" book blurb: "Born with the physical appearance of an elderly man, Max grows older mentally like any child, but his body appears to age backward... His physical curse proves to be a blessing, allowing him to try to win the heart of the same woman three times..." This was a wonderful story, set in turn-of-century San Francisco and I highly recommend to people looking for a richer read than Fitzgerald's short story.
