Comedians make the best drama actors. Jim Carrey is excellent in this. Great concept, good storytelling. The plot/theme is smt close to home for me, memory, but honestly? Couldn’t bring myself to root for the couple. I liked them individually, (sort of, Clem annoyed me slightly, but I found Joel charming), but together the lows were not better than the highs. Great film and cinema, but it loses a star for characters. Edit: lowered my rating. Objectively great, flat characters for a character driven story is unacceptable
Synopsis
You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.
Joel Barish, heartbroken that his girlfriend underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realises that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake.
Reviews from Movi members
Joel’s address is 1619 South Village, Rockville Center. Vince’s family Chinese takeout restaurant was at 18 South Village, Rockville Center before Hurricane Sandy destroyed it. Isn’t that cool
It’s one of those movies where you need to yap about it with your friends for like an hour after. I love those movies
