Don't listen to the negative reviews

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I really enjoyed the humor of this movie- it sent a great message to every viewer. Aging is such a negative hype and How To Live Forever sheds a new light upon the topic. Screw the typical "health/exercise/eat right" advice; the people interviewed in this film tell it how it is and that positive attitude/enjoyment of life itself is the key. Includes a variety of people ranging from fitness guru Jack LaLanne (deceased) to Suzanne Somers and John Robbins. I'd have to say Buster Martin the smoker/drinker/marathon runner was my favorite. If only more seniors aged as happily as these did the world would be a brighter place! I recommend this to everyone of any age! Entertaining, inspiring, light hearted and fun.

I personally really enjoyed this documentary. I feel like people that have disliked it have missed the actual message of the movie. I don't think its supposed to answer our questions about how to actually live forever, as much as its supposed to answer our questions about the best ways to live. If we figure out how to live right (mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically) and living to the fullest by doing the things we love, we may end up figuring out how to live as long as we can. I think he tries to show us that if we lead happy lives, our lives will thank us with extra time and longevity. He does an excellent job at combining both the non physical things we can do (i.e. spiritually, emotionally) with the physical things like nutrition and cosmetic. Although handling a touchy subject he manages a smooth unfolding with lighthearted humor.

I have to say I love how this movie doesn't beat you over the head with an opinion one way or the other. We get to look into a world of cryogenics, active seniors, even hormone replacement therapies, but we aren't told what the best way is. Only that these options are out there. At first I was really expecting a even more longevity secrets, but the movie slowly transitions into a focus more on characters and quality of life.While these ideas and technologies are interesting, the interviewees really make the movie. Seeing them live out fulfilling lives into their 90's and beyond was really inspiring. Honestly I think Mark Wexler's decision (leaving it up to us to decide what we think about longevity and really the meaning of life) was correct, I wouldn't have enjoyed an ending that promoted a certain ideal way of life.

"If there was a pill to live for 500 years, would you take it?" The million dollar question asked throughout this film by director Mark Wexler. From Eleanor Wasson, a 100 year old vegetarian that drinks vodka every night, to Buster, a 101 year old beer drinking, marathon runner, what is the true secret to living a longer life and is it fulfilling to do so? In this terrific documentary, the audience is taken on a journey through multiple characters around the world that are quite unique and delightful to watch. Their stories have inspired me to live my life to the fullest and I find it will do the same for you.
