While the film seemed like a sweet romantic comedy, it’s actually based on a true story. Barrymore plays a woman suffering from a rare kind of amnesia caused by a car accident. Whenever she sleep, all of her most recent memories are forever erased. Until she meets a man and falls in love, he reminds her who she is, who he is, and what they life is like every day.
