La mémoire volée

Oh the humanity! What a lousy flick. Even by TV movie standards, it's awful. Predictable and corny. Joanna Kerns deserves better. Did she really need the money this much? But this flick is still fun to laugh at! Catch this howler on Lifetime if you can.

I thought I had this movie figured out pretty quickly boy was I wrong. This is a great made for tv movie. I haven't read the book and most movies whether it's TV or theaters don't do the book justice I have a feeling this movie is as good or maybe better then the book. Johanna Kerns is fabulous,she can do comedy and drama with equal parts aplomb and realism. The farther into the movie you get,the more jaw dropping it gets. Jon Shea is also great as the supposed caring,loving,supportive husband,another shocking realization,they just keep coming until the end. A five star movie,a must watch,surprise,surprise.

Standard Lifetime anti-man movie with standard amnesia-victim plot. The man of course is portrayed as a diabolically evil mastermind who the women must unite against to defeat. I suppose this is meant to be inspiring to women, but it just doesn't make for a realistic film. The amnesia angle is supposed to make you expect plot twists and turns, but everything that happens is predictable. Lots of eye-rolling. All of the actors & actresses are good, but this vehicle wastes their skills. This isn't a *bad* movie, but I certainly wouldn't call it *good* either. I watched it at 3am and all I can say is that it was better than watching infomercials.

Compelling tale of a woman who has lost her memory; has she suffered a severe mental breakdown? Or is she being set-up by her 'devoted' husband? Unfortunately once those questions are answered the movie tends to go down-hill, nevertheless excellent performances from the female and male lead. 7 out of 10.

Most movies based on a book are a letdown but THIS ONE delivers! Joanna Kerns was incredible. She was perfect in the lead role. There was never a dull moment in this fine movie. It keeps you guessing until the very end.
