Please don't spend money on this.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
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 loses his short term memory every morning and must relearn everything that has happened to him. He keeps this a secret from Molly which leads to a misunderstanding.This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. So don't expect edgy. This delivers the expected romantic love story. Alexis Bledel and Zachary Levi are both TV veterans. They're both likable actors. Also included are other good actors like Merritt Wever, Barry Shabaka Henley and Valerie Azlynn. Keep your expectations low and you'll be fine.
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. As is, 6 is as high as I can go...
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. Romance and love soon blossoms between the pair-providing he can remember what is going on. Every day is literally a new adventure for him. 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 should certainly make us aware of older people stricken with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.
OK, I wanna point out there that YES, 50 First Dates did it first, but added comedy in it. Now that that is out of the way, let me move on to my review. 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. This TV Film really does have a potential to be a TV Series but if it never does its still a great TV Film. 5 out of 5 stars
