Remember Sunday

Plot synopsis:
The story follows the characters of Molly (Bledel), a struggling waitress, and Gus (Levi), a jewelry store employee. Gus and Molly meet through a chance encounter when Gus is at Molly's diner waiting for his best friend. Molly sees Gus reciting notes into his pen recorder and when he goes to take a phone call she leaves a message on it for him. Soon after, Molly and Gus begin to date. Molly does not yet realize it, but Gus is unable to make new memories due to having had a brain aneurysm years before. As a result, he forgets the day's events every time he goes to sleep. Molly soon finds out that he has been recording all of their conversations on his pen. Gus tries to explain, but Molly mistakes it for being a disturbing and creepy habit. A few weeks later Molly returns to the apartment to find Gus's sister Lucy who explains everything and gives Molly the file folder Gus had filled with mementos and notes of their time together. Molly visits the hospital where Gus is under observation and introduces herself as his girlfriend. She shows him the folder so he can learn more about their relationship. We learn that prior to having his aneurysm, Gus was meant to be the next Einstein working at Caltech and the Mt. Wilson telescope in southern California. Molly takes Gus there, where he visits with his old colleagues. While visiting, they let him know that his work will help them to better understand the universe. Molly also meets Gus's ex-fiancee (one of his former co-workers) who explains why things had ended between them and warns her of the difficulties that any sort of serious relationship will have. Gus also tells Molly to leave him if an operation to fix his brain damage does not work. Gus's sister tells Molly that Gus has actually already had this operation, but it did not work. That night Molly sees a note on Gus's laptop to ask her to marry him the next day. Molly deletes the note after reflecting on what Gus had told her to do and Gus wakes up the next day without any memory of her. Molly continues her life with almost a quarter million dollars that she finally received from her great aunt's inheritance. With those extra funds she pays off her student loans and achieves her long standing dream of starting her own flower business. One day, while working at a wedding, a shooting star appears and Molly is reminded of Gus. She visits him at the jewelry shop he works at the next day. He recognizes her name from an envelope he had kept containing an antique ring that had belonged to Molly's great aunt. Shortly after they had originally met, Molly had come to the shop and had sold the ring to Gus for $200 that she had desperately needed. At the time the ring was in bad shape and missing half its stones. Gus had repaired the ring and kept it to return to Molly someday at no expense. He gives it back to her and she begins to cry tears of happiness and hints to him that they know each other. Molly asks Gus if he would like to go out for coffee with her and says she knows a great place.

Review:
if you like romantic movies that keep a serious tone, but don't try to make you cry at every opportunity, then you may like this one.Give it a 8 out of 10, but has king of an open ending which is not my favorite way of finishing a movie..
The struggle of a family or a person with a mental illness is a real difficult issue to cope with, and this movie showed that struggle in a wonderfully inspirational way.
Thank you for a great movie with real substance, hope and encouragement..
I'm not generally one to like these Hallmark movies.
Obviously Alexis Bledel is pretty and talented and this character could easily be a "grown up" Rory, however the writing was good enough that it kept her from sinking into that familiar role too much.
The guy, who I've never seen before in anything, was convincing enough as his character, Gus. This was an interesting take on a familiar formula and played out as more of a drama than anything.
But I recommend it in any case since it's just a feel-good all around movie..
This one is among the better ones, well-acted by leads Zachary Levi and Alexis Bledel, and a terrific supporting cast.
I s'pose this type of ending works well with the overall theme of the movie, but...let's put it this way: with an ending like that, one can only hope there'll be a sequel!
Second, it suffers a problem which is common among many Hallmark movies - the soundtrack is intrusive.
Other Hallmark movies suffer far worse from this problem than this one does, so if I could, I would have deducted only a half- star for this problem.
but, in fairness, this movie has a more sound morale.Zachary Levi played a good leading man in the movie, along with the appealing leading lady, rightful for romantic movies girls can swoon over.
but, i like how there was sound presentation and development of the different views and characters of the two subjects; how their inclination also reflect their perspective.
Levi and Bledel make a good romantic couple in Remember Sunday.
Zachary Levi is Gus, a former astronomer who suffers from a malady that causes him to lose memory of recent events but still know of what he did before he got that way.
Alexis Bledel is Molly, a waitress who's been unlucky in love and is waiting for her inheritance to come so she can open up a flower shop.
Taking place and filmed in New Orleans, which is a two-hour drive from where I live, I thought this was quite a touching drama with occasionally some good humor that also took a realistic look at how heartbreaking Levi's character can be when he makes Ms. Bledel promise something because of his condition.
It was just such a nice surprise to hear that song being played in a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" TV movie.
Molly (Alexis Bledel) is a lonely waitress who tries her luck with Gus (Zachary Levi) a jeweler's assistant.
Gus is absent-minded, preoccupied, suffering a brain aneurysm which rob him of his short-term memory.
He keeps this a secret from Molly which leads to a misunderstanding.This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie.
This delivers the expected romantic love story.
Alexis Bledel and Zachary Levi are both TV veterans.
I really love Zach Levi, and I love romance films, so I just had to watch this one.
The first time I watched it, I thought "That wasn't too bad for a TV movie" and truly, it isn't bad, it's just not great.The acting is great, (of course!), the characters were interesting and sympathetic, but the writing was mediocre at best, in my opinion.
The strongest part of the whole film was the premise and the plot - except I felt the reveal was badly done - Alexis's character reacted so unrealistically that they really should have thought of a better way to do the reveal.
I wish I could watch this movie done with a strong script, and I'm sure I'd give it 10 stars.
Zachary Levi's performance is real.What I mean by this is that Zachary is able to convey emotion in a way that unifies his character with us, the viewers.
His frustration, passion, and love resembles the similar emotions faced in real life.
His performance pulls us in as if we were experiencing his struggle, his triumphs, his life.Levi's performance in " Remember Sunday" reminds me of his days as a nerdy computer geek in "Chuck"(I highly recommend watching it).
Please don't be turned off by this movie being a Hallmark film.
Most Hallmark movies come off as having bad actors and repetitive story lines.
This surprisingly thoughtful romantic comedy about a brilliant scientist who after a stroke can't keep his memories of that day after a night's sleep.There is a Groundhog Day humor to his forgetfulness but when things get more serious the plot still works out in a realistic way.
Zachary Levi is quite good and handles the role well.
Alexis Bledel is winsome here and you root for them to work out.Worth a watch - it's A list quality both in terms of acting and story for a TV movie..
I don't remember when I watched a film that made me feeling like this.I was truly moved, touched and teared.
sincere to the bone.Well I ended up purchasing this film for future watching.
I know I will return to it for many many times.I wholeheartedly recommend this film for everyone!
Every morning at 6, Gus wakes up to real New Orleans jazz on his clock-radio, and a pair of enthusiastic morning hosts (we never see what they do on the radio station on weekends, but anyway).
And he sees a note saying he lives in New Orleans, and a file folder with the large message telling him to read it every morning.Then Gus goes out and jogs, and the fiddle player knows whether he is on time or late.
But for anything more recent, he must rely on all sorts of reminders, including post-it notes, files, and the ever-present pen that he uses to record messages and reminders, and software on his computer that translates what he records into words that appear on the screen.Although he was an astronomer who worked with Lauren and others at Mount Wilson Observatory in California, and his work could be compared to Einstein's, Gus had an aneurysm which affected his hippocampus (that's part of his brain) in such a way that every time he goes to sleep, he forgets everything he learned the previous day.
There is also Bernadette upstairs from Gus, who cares a lot about him, and has to tell her son Max not to swindle Gus, who does NOT owe him money.Molly is in college but heavily in debt until the delay in getting her inheritance is resolved.
Molly sells him a valuable ring that belonged to a relative; she wanted to sell a watch but Gus knows it's a fake.
Gus knows he wants to date Molly and gives himself plenty of reminders.
Molly likes Gus too.
But Gus doesn't dare tell Molly the truth.
Especially since Gus, without his memory, thinks Jolene is Molly on several occasions.
Jolene blames too many women in Gus' life.So will it work?
What will happen when Molly knows the truth?When they were still on the air, "Gilmore Girls" and "Chuck" were among my favorite shows.
And Alexis Bledel and Zachary Levi each played my favorite character on their respective shows.
So this movie has to work, right?
I prefer the New Orleans jazz that starts each day for Gus, the good country song that was playing in Molly's restaurant, and that fiddle player--who is a talented actor as well as musician.
A cross between "Memento" and "Fifty First Dates", "Remember Sunday" stars Zachary Levi as Gus, a talented astrophysicist who has suffered a brain aneurysm.
Here director Jeff Bleckner turns Gus' memory problems into the lover's desire for continuity and permanence.
Gus, we learn, wishes to be with Molly (Alexis Bledel), a young florist.
Every time Gus meets and falls in love with Molly for the "first time", his memory of her is wiped away 24 hours later.
I enjoyed it tremendously, the film is taken the problem seriously, while adding a touch of romance and even as a guy I felt the chemistry the two actors have in this film.
Alexis Biedel is very likable in the film and portrays Molly in a way that makes you believe you could fall for her daily.
Zachary Tir(I think that is how you spell his name)is also great in this, you really feel for his dilemma and when things start to dwindle for him you feel bad.
First of all,Alexis Bledel and Zachary Levi displays very nice acting.
The film has everything about properties of drama and romance.Hence,i'm sure it will have good time for you.
But,I have to say that plot is same as "50 first dates",also fiction is different.Lucy Whitmore's characteristic change with Gus's character.They are same,they have memory problems.They do not remember one day ago.They face this problem and they fight this situation.
the subject of this interesting theme supported a beautiful subject and beautiful movie came out.You feel soaking up the romance.
Quite frankly a real surprise but you gotta love Zachary Levi here.
SO I saw this on a free channel a few days ago actually on a Sunday I saw this movie and the real reason why I watched it was because it featured Zachary Levi whom you may know featured in my favorite movie of ALL time Tangled as the voice of Flynn Rider aka Eugene Fitzherbert.In Remember Sunday the hottie plays Gus Gil Water,who suffers from a memory loss condition that he can only remember the past but not what happens now as for every morning at 6:00 am when he wakes up,he finds a folder saying read me and he carries what looks like a ballpoint pen to help him remember what happened that specific day.
Problem arises when he meets a girl called Molly played by Alexis Biedel from Tuck Everlasting who has had a string of men in her life and she never met the right guy to be with.
So she serves Gus his coffee and notices that his been acting funny as she has no idea that he has memory loss.
So you can probably guess that they are going to fall in love so let me point out what I liked about it.
First is the chemistry between Levi and Biedel which was so cute,second was the story which was in my surprise very endearing,the third thing was Zachary Levi who played his charcther so well you gotta give him credit for that and I kept wishing that he should star in more romantic movies and he did so I hope he keeps up the good work and people should take this guy seriously his a great actor and I have to thank Tangled for making me become a fan of his.
Okay, so if you don't like chick flicks: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.Don't get me wrong, I love Zachary Levi and I don't mind watching romance movies once in a while.
But in the movie he for some reason totally forgets about her, or he remembers but has made a note about it - but that would only make him a cheating bastard so I don't know what would be the best alternative really.I for some reason find the role of Alexis extremely annoying too and I don't understand what Gus (Zachary) sees in her besides that she's cute.
But if you like cheesy romance movies where the characters say cliché stuff like "I wish I could freeze this moment forever" or the guy and the girl just *happen* to both collect the same Star Wars pez toys - this movie is definitely for you..
I watched this movie when it first came out.
The main characters are Gus and Molly.
Gus has suffered from a brain aneurysm that destroyed his short-term memory and forced him to give up his old job, so he's moved back to his hometown (New Orleans) where his family can help him.
Molly is a lonely waitress who meets Gus and starts to like him, not realizing that he has to write and record things everyday so that he doesn't forget her or things that she has told him (this causes a few conflicts along the way).
Although Gus loves her, the absence of short-term memory makes it very difficult to build a relationship.
Gus's family eventually reveals the problem to Molly (and the fact that it cannot be fixed), and she learns more about his background.
The cycle of Gus forgetting Molly, and falling in love with her again the next day, continues all the way to the abrupt ending (not my favorite way for a movie to end, but it's realistic in this case)..
This was a simple, corny, straight-ahead TV film, lacking in the crass sex and violence (that I normally like), but it does touch the heartstrings in that old school way.I enjoyed the likability of both lead actors.
Both were Simple, mostly pretty honest and ethical.Other reviewers mentioned the resemblance here to people suffering from Alzheimer's, but I'm not informed enough to know if the disease in this TV film even exists.There were a few things in the plot that were hard to believe.
In that scene near the ending, the always-hopeful and optimistic Molly is sort of testing Ben's memory by dropping a few lines or quotes he himself had uttered before.
Alexis Bledel has been an underrated actress, unfortunately, though she keeps trying to do roles, like this one, that are a bit out of the ordinary.A point that many reviewers brought up was that the ending was open ended/unsatisfactory.
The ending was actually beautiful but a little subtle.Spoiler Her last words are "I will wait for you Gus".
a guy named Gus meets a girl which he falls in love with her daily because he has memory problems.
I hate what romance movie do with me this is incredible the way he look at her everyday the way he love her how he talks about his passion how molly memorize his quotes this is what I want someone who knows his passion this is truly an amazing movie with a wonderful story which means sacrifice even though its made just like 50 dates but I think remember Sunday is better the way they look at each other they really know how act dammit ACTors why do you do this to me this movie really shows how love can do a lot to a person i really liked the way he shows the suffer of people who have ammisa its just amazing and those two actress makes great chemistry.love is incredible don't you just love love ).
For most of the movie I had a feeling I was watching an outtake from the Gilmore Girls (the couple of episodes of which that I watched I found supremely annoying).
(Actually, as I was writing this review, I checked the casts of the two, and it turns out that Molly had indeed "starred" in G.G.!) Producers/scriptwriters, here's a clue for you: NOBODY TALKS LIKE THAT IN REAL LIFE!!!
2) Characters routinely goof up but everything works out great.
Meanwhile, most people in the real world would have to contend with inconsiderate drivers, get fined for vandalizing public property, wait a quarter hour for a tram, and at the end they'd be out of breath and reek of sweat for the rest of the day.Or take Molly's college paper.
They really could have put some more effort into the musical score.In fairness, the movie does not insult us with a happily-ever-after ending and does make it clear that if Gus and Molly's relationship - such as it is - is to survive, a lot of sacrifice would be needed.
Sentimental film where a young scientist, with great potential, suffers a brain aneurysm leaving him with a total short-term memory loss.
He must rely on recordings and notes so that he doesn't forget recent events in his life.He meets a young waitress who has just broken up with her boyfriend.
Naturally, there are the misunderstandings in the film, when our hero doesn't tell the girl about his impairment, and when she sees the recorder, she thinks he is some sort of pervert sending messages about her throughout the internet.It's really a sad commentary on what can happen to a young person in such a dilemma.
It was filmed mostly in New Orleans, a city I called a second home for most of my life.
Watching it felt like I was back there again.I like Alexis Bledel, and she happens to be a Houstonian.
She is Molly , searching for her path in life.The other main character is played by Zachary Levi (TV series 'Chuck') as Gus , who works in a jewelry repair job.
But we find that Gus has a most interesting back-story.
He was an Astrophysics genius, some even calling him the next Einstein, when he suffered an aneurysm in a particular part of his brain, which resulted in his losing the ability to form new memories.
Thus he can remember his past life, and his scientific work, but when he meets Molly, when he wakes up the next day his memory of her and anything they did or discussed is wiped out.Gus learns to cope by making notes and taking a few photos.
But it is of course frustrating when he meets Molly again each time, he knows she must be his girlfriend, but he has no memory of it.
Mostly pleasant movie because of the actors.SPOILERS: At one point Molly takes Gus on a "field trip".
