Saw the movie on Friday...
I thought it was an enchanting film.
I loved the pace.
It's odd, I wanted to see the film because I'm a fan of the screenwriter, Charlie Kauffman (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Human Nature and COnfesions of a Dangerous Mind). He is one of today's most interesting story tellers. He manages to explore the inner self in consistently facinating ways.
In the end, the performaces of Carrey and Winslet are note perfect (as are the supporting cast).
What's been made is one of the most unique boy meets girl boy loses girl stories every filmed.
All of that said, this clearly isn't for everyone. As with Hal's Dad, I heard a number of people in the theatre mumbling that it was a waste of their money... My wife, on the other hand, liked it even more than I did.
