Movie Review: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I just got back home from watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Jim Carrey. I thought it was a good movie and would recomend watching it. It's about two people who have parts of their minds erased because they don't want to remember certain things that happen in their lives, but you prolly already knew that if you saw the trailer. I would give this movie 4 stars, out of 5 of course. Because 5 is the best number scale for rating things. I only have two problems with this movie, that could cancel eachother out...

WARNING! Do not read past this unless you want to potentially have the plot of this movie ruined for you! It's only recomended to read if you have already seen it, or don't really care if I tell you how it ends.....

Well, first of all, the whole Kirstin Dunst liking the old man part is not necesary to the movie... in fact, it's kinda annoying. It is like this random thing that has nothing to do with anything and is just stupid. The only reason one might say it is useful to the movie is because that sub-plot eventually leads to Dunst getting mad and sending everybody back their tapes. When that happens it paves the way for the ending, which is that Carry and his girlfriend get the tapes and figure that they aren't meant for eachother, because they've tried being together before and apparently it didn't work. Now, I think that was a bad ending and they should have just let the characters go on and be together without knowing that they were ever together before! So to sum it all up, the stupid Dunst/old man sub-plot was stupid and was only there so it could lead to them getting their tapes and finding out that they were once together. Both of those things should have been stripped from the plot and the movie would have made just as much sense, only it would have been way better.
