OK but left me a little......empty.

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2004)

I thought there were some good Ideas, and the acting was very good.
But overall not as good as some of the things it's been compared to.
I have to say .......and this may sound strange, but I find myself wishing there was'nt a happy ending.
I kind of had this feeling during the movie that there was no way this was going to have a happy ending, probably Joel would go insane or Clem would kill herself or something.
I think the happy ending kinda came off as a bit of a sell out....I half expected Elija Wood to shoot Jim Carrey or something when he got Clemantine back.......I am so weird!
Updated 2016: I have to say that over many viewings since my first review, this has become one of my favorite films. It needs to be viewed at least twice, which I should have done before reviewing it originally!
