This movie just came out on video, starring Jim Carey. Unlike his usual off-beat, stupid characters, he's cynical, dark and insecure in this so called comedy about erasing his girlfriend from his memory. Although this sentiment is universal to all the broken hearted out there, this movie makes you really think about the consequences of doing just that. Memories are tough. Shouldn't we be tough enough to keep them? Isn't this the best road map of who we are, by seeing how we've grown in our relationships emotionally? Does it really matter that most relationships end, when we carry the experience with us in one way or another— just like everything we've learned (good or bad) from every part of life?
There's a quote that sums up the entire movie in a nice little package for you about 3/4 of the way through. It's not a tidy ending, for sure, though. I stick with this quote: 'Tis a far far better thing to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all-- well, that's how I remember it, anyway.
Make sure you're not distracted watching this movie, there's alot of dialogue and nuances that add to the drama and the pain and the mystery of love that you don't want to miss.
None of the actors look very appealing so if you're going for eye candy, don't bother.
Worth the money rating: $$$$
