As of late, rather late, I watched this movie on tv tonight. I considered it as a "must see" movie especially with the 8.3/10 ratings and glowing reviews on IMDb that could not possibly miss the opportunity of it being on tv. After enduring the movie patiently, all the way through, I was left in a state of disbelief as to the reasons of such glowing reviews and high ratings.

The story line certainly arouses curiosity and interest. The protagonists, Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, are very good in executing well what was expected of them, but sadly the director has not managed to bring out that potential and make a convincing case of a memorable movie that the story line deserved. The sound quality also deserved a better treatment by the recordist(s) in a way whereby the spoken words were not drowned out by an overpowering score volume.

Overly disappointed.
