A romantic science-fiction comedy?

The first thing I must say is that the DVD doesn't have any significant extra stuff. I think I have should have the 2-disc set, but this is what I've got...

Talking about this film I must say I was very impressed. I'm not really sure that the whole plot has convinced me at all, but I think it is really innovative, close to Amenabar's "Open Your Eyes" and much better than Cruise's "Vanilla Sky". The way scenes are developed is also fascinating.

The science-fiction background is something you can be for or against. You can be conviced or not about the experience that is carried out with the "main character" mind to let it be spotless. During the first 3/4 hour you can see what is all about.

The romantic background is out of all doubt. The story of these two strange couple is lovely and their acting is very funny. Carrey can and must do the best of himself like in this movie and forget doing things like "Liar Liar" and "Ace Ventura". Winslet is at least the actress she could be in "Titanic" and now is showing the best of herself. Brilliant job.

But, why did I have to quit one star and not give five? The reason is, for me, very simple, the middle of the film is somewhat ridiculous. I have to refer to the scene in which the treatment is applied. The assistant doctor, his friend and his fiancée having a party at the same time they try to erase the memory is something apart of the main line of the story.

Yes, the idea is memorable. A very good try. But it could even be better. Instead of one Oscar, perhaps two or three more could be earned with a simple effort.
