So last night I watched this movie with my friend Brian, it was a really freaky movie along the lines of Memento, and possibly sort of like the Matrix if you just count the philosophical parts and no action and no special effects, though there was some special effect work done. It had Jim Carrey being serious, Kate Winslet not hanging off of the front of a boat, and Elijah Wood standing the same height as everyone else. It also had the main male role from 13 going on 30 as well as Kirsten Dunst whom we all know from Spider-Man one and two.

This movie is really weird because they play part of the end at the beginning, and then fill inthe middle, play past the part they played in the beginning and then finish the movie with the end. I appreciate a movie with an ending at the end, it makes a sense of completion possible. I will warn you that Jim Carrey is not overtly funny in this film and that the language, while being English, is full of words that parents don’t want their children to hear or use, and that if used any more than it was in this movie falls over the line of bad script writing. In other words, there’s a lot of prophanity in this movie and you shouldn’t see it if hearing it throws you into a fit of vomitting, temporary memory loss or back pain. Women under 30 should consult a physician before taking this… whoops! I got way off track.

I really liked the moral of the movie because it was that if you’re meant to be with someone you’ll be with them no matter what. However, 95% of the people who leave the theater, or finish watching the DVD, will not be thinking that. Carrey is serious in this movie. Really. Don’t come looking for an Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, or The Mask. Don’t come looking for The Majestic either, because this is not filled with the feel good stuff at the end.

The idea behind the movie is that a doctor in the area can erase memories from your mind. By the end of the movie a lot of memories are erased from a lot of minds leading to catastrophe. However, a majority of the movie is played out in Jim’s mind where he [some description that would totally spoil the movie if you were to watch it].

So, how do I rate this movie after rambling on so long with great discontinuity? On a scale from 1 to 13, with 13 being the best, I’d give it a 9. It’s above average, but due to some graphic scenes, vulgar language and silly kissing from Kursten Dunst, it can’t be a 13.
