I didn't like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, I found the beginning too weird, the movie version was better. Do you have seen/compare it to the movie?

I found Benjamin Button to be innovative (especially for its time). But when it comes to the film, it was one of those rare occurrences where the film was much better than the book (or, in this case, short story).
