Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2006)

Contains spoilers! now this is a GREAT film. its original, great acting and superv directing. i had no trouble at all following this film, although it can be confusing. this is one of the only films i can watch over and over. i think this might be the best love story ever told. it's very sad, and just plain remarkable....
it starts with Joel Barish, (Jim Carrey), waking up one monring on his way to work. he keeps a journal in which he writes all of his thoughts, ideas, and draws pictures. he realizes that he has ripped out pages and see's that he hasn't written in two years. at a resteraunt, he see's clementide kerchynski, or whatever, and they begin talking.after talking and having a serious relationship, Joel goes and talks to her. she acts like she doesn't even know him. It turns out Clementide erased Joel from her mind. So to forget about all this, Joel does it too. Joel has to get rid of anything, movies, clothes, pictures, presents, whatever, so there isn't a unexplainable presence in their homes. Well, while erasing the memories of her, Joel experiences the memories, and thinks the memories are too important and he loves them too much, so he tries calling the process off. this movie is just amazing. One of Jim Carrey's best performances. 10/10
