The combination of a road accident and freak weather incident leave Blake Lively ageless. Basically she is stuck at 28 with those looks and appearance, which is a problem for her in 'The Age of Adaline'. For one thing, now at 107, she still attracts lustful approaches from men in their thirties. Furthermore her own daughter, aged 84, looks like her grandmother and youthful policemen don't believe her when she shows them her birthday endorsed drivers licence. First world problems as the current saying goes.
I can forgive implausible film plots when delivered in an entertaining way, or with striking effect or in some innovative manner. But Adaline's plot clothed in dreamy romantic images in and around San Francisco lacks logic and the eventual outcome is so ludicrous as to border on the distasteful.
