Garoo

What was all the fuss about? The love story reminds me of Solaris, only not as good (the comparison might seem far-fetched, but the Soderbergh movie is becoming my reference when it comes to love at first sight); the story is reminiscent of half the previous Charlie Kaufman movies, and some others; the “message”, which already wasn’t too subtle throughout the script, is quite unpleasantly hammered down one last time in the last scene; the SF aspect is underwritten, the memory removal process not being so much a problem by itself but rather because of the bunch of amateurs running it. Not much left to like.
