As a kid Evan (Lerman and Schmidt) has
blackouts every time something bad happens and then he can’t remember. As an
adult (Kutcher) this continues. He asks his mother (Walters) about his father’s
(Rennie) mental illness, which seems to be hereditary. When he seeks out old
friends to ask them what happened during his blackouts they become upset to the
point of violence.
He discovers that he can go back in his
memories and change what happened, but maybe that’s not a good idea.
OK, so now it’s sci fi. Fine by me.
Probably if I thought about it, I’d find things wrong with it, but I won’t. I enjoyed it.
