A new review from The Movie Snob.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (B-). I just can't give this movie the big bear hug that View From Mars did. It was written by Charlie Kaufman, who also wrote the screenplays for Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, so some weirdness was to be expected. And I did like the premise: Jim Carrey, in deep angst over losing girlfriend Kate Winslet, discovers that bonny Kate has gone to this strange clinic called Lacuna, Inc. and availed herself of a procedure to completely erase him from his memory. So he decides to have her scrubbed out of his brain too. And that's when things start to get really weird.... I think my biggest problem with the movie was the ending, which did not ring at all true to me. But it was an interesting ride getting there, with good performances by the whole cast. Maybe it's more of a straight B. If you like movies that are a little twisted, it's worth a look.
