Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Man in Berlin for a conference gets into a car accident and it seems, when he wakes up from a short coma, everyone else has somehow suffered amnesia where he's concerned.  It had me rolling my eyes for most of the movie as everything seemed so convoluted.  It was obvious that he was being tricked somehow, but why?  And how could it possibly make any sense?

I was happily surprised that the story came together seamlessly.  I couldn't have predicted that the riduclousness on the screen would eventually be proven reasonable, but they pulled it off.  Amazing that 3/4 of the movie could be saved by the last fourth (usually it's the other way around), but there ya go.
