The movie starts with a TAG - This is a True Story
But after seeing the movie - I laughed at myself and said that - Ah, what a fast one the Director has pulled on the audience by pinching the Tagline - This is a True Story and making us believe in whatever is shown
After two days I simply googled about the case to find out whether such a case was there at all and to my surprise - there was incidentally a real life case.
Now I smile at myself again and get amused by the fact - that I was so wrong in thinking the Director Remy Cayueta has pulled a fast one on his audiences.
The story is about Jean Pierre who has an accident. He wakes up from his long coma and identifies himself as USA Hollywood star Matthew McConaughey. The Doctors are sensitive and want to get along with his new identity and thus requests his family and friends to accept his new identity till he comes back to his real sense of realizing his own self.
The Director Remy has weaved many small incidents in the phase of recovery in a light comedy tone that makes us smile and smirk.
The whole movie is so unbelievable that at the end of it - we scratch our heads doubting its authenticity until we realize that in real life there was this man named Rory Curtis - whose real life story is the same as Jean Pierre.
The movie was okay, but much more can be done beyond the 13 minutes run time. The person who plays the main role is Jonathan Lambert has done a good job in his comedy timing.
At the end of the movie the last-titles says that the patient recovered and was able to identify himself after 6 months of therapy sessions I would go with 5.5 out of 10.
