Kaufman did an excellent job with this film and forces one to think about the joys and pains of love and relationships.

The only qualm I had with this movie was Kate Winslet's hair. The story was exciting and devasting at the same time.

...you prefer films to movies. Confusing and frustrating if not. Carrey finally delivers the performance of which every comic actor hopes he is capable. Winslet is about as perfectly cast as it's possible to be in her role. Both do an excellent job of not getting in the way of Gondry's impressive depiction of Kaufman's slightly disturbing story - which will appeal especially to anyone with the slightest paranoid bent. BTW, if you find yourself wondering, as I did, "where have I seen the actor playing the doctor?" he was Fennyman, the moneylender in "Shakespeare in Love."

Admittedly a very clever movie and worth seeing for that.

This was a very unusally executed movie, but it took too much effort to follow the story. It was interesting and I liked the idea of it once I figured it out. But I don't think storytelling is supposed to be so hard for the listener/viewer. The character development was choppy and didn't seem to serve the story well. The primary actors were very good in displaying the characters, but it wasn't enough. I would not recommend this movie unless someone wants to try something different.

This is a great movie. Contrary to what many are saying here and elsewhere, i didn't find it hard to follow. Maybe if people would actually sit in a quiet room and watch this film they would see it isn't that hard. I found it to be insightful, funny and beautiful. I would recommend this movie to most, but as mentioned before, not to those with attention span problems.

I have seen few movies that I disliked more than this one. My husband and I were both very dissapointed. I am a Jim Carrey fan and I have enjoyed all his previous movies. I am not sure why he chose to do this one. Maybe it looked better on paper. I rented it based on the 3 1/2 star member rating. I guess some people must have enjoyed it, but I would hazard a guess that most would not. It was simply a very slow, uninteresting story.

First 10 minutes is extemely boring! The rest of the movie is not worth wasting your time trying to figure out. IT jumps around so much from reality to fantasy you begin to feel as confused as Carry. Take one of your worst nightmares and put it on film and you will have an little idea of what you will be watching for 1 hour and 48 minutes.....
