When you think of Jim Carrey, you automatically assume that anything associated with him is a comedy. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind defies Carrey's role of a comedic actor. Carrey instead plays a rather depressed guy in this film, which makes this film seem far from a comedy. It's an absolute love story of a couple who have been seeing each other for quite some time. "After a nasty fight, Clementine stormed out of Joel's apartment and his life and impulsively hired a New York firm called Lacuna, Inc., to erase all memories of him. Joel was devastated when he found out what she had done and decided to undergo the procedure himself." During the erasing process they both remember why they fell for each other and towards the end don't want to go on with it but it's too late.
Here is a site that talks about how the idea for the movie came around, and also there a whole big section that explains the whole movie and talk about everything in detail. I have also seen this movie and I consider it to be an excellent film.

I like this movie a lot, too. People who enjoyed it might also want to check out Being John Malkovich and Adaptation: they're directed by different people but they all share a screenwriter, Charlie Kaufmann.
Watch out, though: Mantas has linked to an encyclopedia entry (Wikipedia), rather than a review... so I wouldn't use this one as a model for the assignment.
