Wonderful movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2004)

I rarely go out to movies any more. It's mostly sensationalized stuff full of violence and special effects. While I do admit that I do occasionally take in the guilty pleasures of such empty-headed cinema, once in a while a movie comes along that makes me re-examine my budget and go in for a little cerebral entertainment.
I loved Jim Carrey in The Truman Show, so when I saw an article on Eternal Sunshine I knew I had to see it. I'm not a fan of Jim's comedy, but I love his serious acting style.
I can say that I was wonderfully impressed with this movie, I laughed, I cried and I was totally sucked in. Elijah Wood gets kudos for playing the best creepy geek I've seen in a long time.
Recommended for people who like romance mixed with dark humour and drama.
