Although it did make me cry, and had a semi-happy ending, overall I hated it. The movie features a woman who was born mid 1920's. Driving home from a party she gets in a servere car crash and is killed. But after she is taken to the hospital they give her a jolt of electricity that (not on purpose) maligns her aging atoms or something like that- they give a really scientific explanation but it comes down to this: she can't age. So in order to keep on living like she is, she keeps her condition a secret from everyone and continually changes her name and never lives in one place for more than six months or so. She lives through a lot, and never dies, but the hardest part is leaving all the men that she has become involved with. Eventually we reach 2015 when she is having an affair with some artist guy. This is a really awkward and slow moving part (along with one bedtime scene that explains the PG-13 rating) that leads to her being invited over to the guy's house with his parents.
SPOILER ALERT- As it turns out, the guy's father is one of the men who Adeline has previously fallen in love with. (That was the part that made me cry) She runs away, fearing discovery, but dies again, ugh, and they give her another jolt of electricity that (shocker!) makes her age again.
I have just one comment: Do not watch this movie.
