Jeff's Review: This is a magical movie that get us all thinking. It's About immortality. Is it all it's cracked up to be? "We're just rocks by the stream". That was my favorite quote of the film. I would recommend this for all ages. Its a great movie. Not the best, but its something to do on a sunday night with your family.

Jeff's Review: Great movie. Not as good as Memento though.  Jim Carrey was GOLD in this movie. I loved Jim Carreys performance. This movie shows that Jim Carrey can be more than funny. He can be serious too. Two hours of great storytelling and wonderful 50's style. I think im the only one in the class that liked this movie. It's too intelligent a movie for most people. It doesn't have sex or violence, so people didn't like it. well i give this movie an 8 out of 10.

Jeff's Review: This movie left me thinking. i cant believe how much im still thinking about this movie. So many things i need to get straightened out! I personally loved this movie.  This movie just does stuff to your head. The plot works backwards. So basically, the ending is at the beginning, and the beginning is in the end. Portrayed backwards, it forces you to think in the same way that our lead character, Leonard Shelby does. Suffering from a condition that makes him unable to remember anything for more than a few minutes, he is searching for the man who raped and killed his wife. Since each seen lasts no more than 15 minutes before jumping back to the what happened before that, our perceptions are shattered in the same way. I thank Mr. Brennan for showing this excellent movie. I give it an obvious 10 out of 10 rating.

Not a very good movie. Watch this if you have alot of time on you. Theend of the story is super corny. If it had a better end, then maybe, i would like it. I give this movie a 5 out of 10.
