Movie Night: Ethernal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Easy to see why it won best original screenplay. There are only a few plots in all of story telling. The trick is to make the tired material new and interesting. The tired material, in this case, is a love story.

Surprise! It is not a love story based entirely on sexual attraction! How cool is that!

Jim Carey pulls off another great dramatic performance. Only once did the story dip into a bit of silliness with his 5-year-old self which was a bit hard to forgive, but I managed.

The story is not plausible for a number of what should be obvious reasons, but I don't mind suspending disbelief if I am entertained. After all, I like Star Trek and Star Wars. :)

I gave it a 4 out of five.
