For me, a drama - an intense one, 2008-08-26
I rented this movie with my husband, one of our first 'dates' after our seperation. Since it was marketed as a comedy, i figured it would be good to have some light entertainment since we'd been working through so much heavy stuff.

Ok, no, not light. Not light at all, esp considering where we were. Some of the lines at the end had me bawling my eyes out! She reminds him of all the things which will go wrong in the relationship, and he says, Ok. That message that, for all the hard, frustrating, awful things that come in a relationship, love is still worth it - of course even a sense of destiny as the movie presents it . . . was not a light message for me at that time! I loved, loved, loved the movie tho - probably my favorite ever from Jim Carrey, since i'm not a slap-stick fan. I loved the mixed-up time line, the quirkiness of the main characters, and again, the message about how important our painful memories and experiences are for us.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a critics darling and hit movie on DVD but I couldn't stand this film and I really tried to understand why this film is so special. Kate Winslet's Oscar nominated performance is reason alone to watch this over-analytical comedy. Winslet is a fearless and unique actress, Jim Carrey and Mark Ruffalo are also good, I just wish Kristen Dunst wasn't in this, she's a one-trick pony! Eternal Sunshine... left me clouded and confused, pass this one up!
