ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Generally, sure. Everyone in it are, on their own, enough to make a film entertaining. The thing is, sitting through 10 minutes of this movie is just as entertaining as the full-length.

Technically any good? Acting fine, FX quite good, but the film feels like it's 3 hours long because there's no real rhyme or reason to the memory-erasure scenes. Ultimately, the characters aren't terribly well drawn and the big names and faces in this movie are quite distracting. Maybe if the story had more meat to it instead of its "hey isn't this weird?" kind of thing going on, I wouldn't have been so easily distracted by the stars in this movie.

How did it leave me feeling? Tired. Why did we sit through that whole film just to learn what a Twilight Zone episode could teach us in 30 minutes?? It's better to have loved and lost than to have forgotten the whole thing--or something like that. Ultimately, there's just no point in this film. Neat premise, but that's it.

Final Rating? DNS (And I usually like scripts by this screenwriter.)
