Evaluating this movie is not an easy task. This happens because (almost) all of us will be judging this movie having in mind what happened on the 11th of September in 2001. And I think that it is very important to state this. If this movie was supposed to be purely fictional, everyone would judge it differently.

This forces me to address another issue, and not a friendly one: were the events that happened in 11/9/2001 really perpetrated by Islamic terrorists or was this only an excuse for a more sinister truth, as suggested in the movie "Loose Change 2nd Edition"? I will not be discussing what it think is the truth. I have my opinion about that, and you have yours. The thing is, if you believe the "official" version about what happened, you will probably think this is a tribute to those heroic people who stopped the terrorists from crashing another plane. But if you believe the "alternative" version of the story, you will probably not like it because all of it sounds like a big lie.

The bottom line is this: I don't think the movie is bad, but I don't think it is good either. I like the way the movie was shot, with a feeling of "amateur camera" and the actors perform well. But apart from that, there is not much else I can say in favor of this movie. If the story was not supposed to be based on the events that took place on 11/09/2001, it would be rather weak.

And please don't think "but of course this was supposed to portray the events that happened in 11/9/2001, you dummy!" because I would have to say that, in that case, it doesn't look much of a tribute to the memory of those who died, but more like a chance to make some profit out of people's suffering...

I'm not a great fan of romances since most of the time they tend to be very corny, exploiting cheap feelings to get audiences. But this one is different. Although it is still a romance, the story is unusual, and the way it is told is also very unusual. The way the film seems to introduce an element of fantasy, as we sometimes are inside the mind of the characters, looking at memories of each other, and the way they struggle to avoid being erased from each other's mind. I loved it. This is also an opportunity to watch Jim Carrey show that he is a great actor, although we usually associate him with movies like Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar, Ace Ventura, etc.

A very interesting love story that is very well told...

This is definitely one of the best movies i have ever seen. It starts out with fragments of the lives of the main characters, chronologically mixed, which makes it difficult to follow at first. Kind of reminds me of Memento or Pulp Fiction, when at first we don't understand what's going on. But as the movie progresses, all the pieces start to come together and it starts to make sense, bit by bit. We can then see how the lives of all the characters are interconnected. This is a very powerful movie that deals with the lives of several very different people, each with his own complexity, as some tragic events happen...

I definitely recommend it. As a final note i would just like to say that the actors were brilliant and the script is fantastic.
