Amnesia d'amore

This Christmas comedy romance uses the Overboard formula and it works well enough. Amnesia strikes a woman about to divorce and the Odd Couple type pair get a second chance. Unlike the Groundhog Day thing which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Living together is harder than falling in love.

Katrina Begin plays the lady who loses her memory after an accident. Tilky Jones is her messy husband. okay for the role with his dude speak - it actually suits the irresponsible guy persona.

Charlene Tilton - Lucy of Dallas is mom and she is quite nice to see on screen again.

Worth one watch.

The romance was a bit odd when it comes to its morals, but it was an okay movie overall. The couple had chemistry and the performances were decent.

A woman gets hit by a car, has amnesia, and forgets she was about to divorce her do-nothing, slacker of a husband and forgets she runs a successful event-planning company. Of course all her loved ones lie to her so she doesn't remember all these distressing details. And the viewer is somehow supposed to feel that all this deception ultimately leads her to some grand revelation.

It's pretty insulting, really. Just skip this one.

Dude, just clean up after yourself, and pay attention to your wife! Then she wouldn't have left you. No girl wants to accept such a pigsty.

Caroline and Jack are a married couple who have gone opposite ways regarding their marriage. Caroline is hard-working, and Jack has lost his zest for work and life in general. Still, Jack's love for Caroline has never wavered. Caroline on the other hand, sick of Jack's slovenly ways and video game obsession, can't take it any longer and decides to file for divorce. On her way the attorney's office, she is hit by a car and ends up having retrograde amnesia. She can't remember Jack, her parents, or her friends and even what flavor of ice cream she likes.

This movie had quite a bit of drama mixed in with the tender and loving moments. Just when you think you can predict what will happen next, it will surprise you. I found the entire story quite realistic.

Jack's character is loving, kind, and caring while pre-amnesia Caroline was angry, driven, and judgemental. Post-amnesia, she realizes what kind of person she indeed is.

The two main actors had excellent chemistry, and I enjoyed the others as well, except for Charlene Tilton. I just didn't feel she fit the part of Caroline's mother.
