Finally, a date movie that doesn’t bludgeon your good taste to death with excruciatingly “endearing” characters, endless Norah Jones songs, or Meg Ryan. This is a touching love story wrapped in a huge mindfuck of a movie—which should come as no surprise, since it was written by the master of the mindfuck, Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation). It stars Jim Carrey as a guy who discovers that his girlfriend (Kate Winslet) has undergone a medical procedure to have all her memories of him erased. He then retaliates by doing the same. With against-typecasting (Carrey plays subdued while Winslet plays manic), a talented supporting cast (Elijah Wood, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Wilkinson, Mark Ruffalo), and more twists than the Twizzler crammed in your yap, Eternal Sunshine is the romantic flick you, your girl, and your respective brains can finally enjoy together. Believe us, you’ll need all the explanation you can get after this one. Luckily, a Q&A session with Carrey and director Michel Gondry is included, along with deleted scenes and a commercial for Lacuna Inc. (the company hired to do the brain-erasing).
