CONSENSUS: “Not much to see here folks. Sure, it has Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, but that is about it. The rest is pretty average. It has a Hitchcock vibe to it, but without actually having Hitchcock Charade falls pretty flat.”
After learning that his mercurial ex-girlfriend, Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet), has undergone an experimental medical process to purge all memories of him, mild-mannered Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) opts for the same procedure.
