This movie is mediocre, with a cliché story, like many others about memories and romance. Also, the romance is not dramatic enough for entertainment purpose. The heroine's performance is tarnished and not convincing. Jim is great, sometimes making me laugh so loud. But sometimes did not speak clearly enough. Elijah Wood is mediocre as usual. In my opinion, he is more suitable for a role of goody-goody, instead of this one. "Eternal sunshine of spotless mind" is nothing special. Only watch it to kill time. I have not understood why it get a high rate yet, since I could easily give a very long list to beat it.
