    Spolier alert! 'The Age of Adeline'

    Avert your gaze if you must, kids, because this whole paragraph is one big SPOILER ALERT.

    What is most shocking in "The Age of Adeline." this drama of a woman who finds herself — after being struck by lightning when submerged in a car — forever age 29 is the reaction of her hot young boyfriend when she finally tells him about this wild peculiarity. Or, should I say, his non-reaction, because the filmmakers don’t let us see his response.

    I know! We see her (Blake Lively) telling him (Michiel Huisman), and we see him smiling later — but the movie skips over what happens in between.

    How does he handle the fact that she’s never aged because of some lightning-induced oddity? Or that she’s actually a centenarian — so he’s dating a 107-year-old?

    Or that she also had an affair with his FATHER (Harrison Ford) back in the 1960s?

    Imagine the drama and angst and disbelief and horror in his reaction — and you’ll just have to imagine it because you won’t be able to see it here.
