    David James Elliott is so handsome in the TV series "Jag" but he was creepy in this movie.

    Several unexpected plot twists. ... If you like being critical, you could complain that parts of it have the appearance and script of an After School Special, but ... to be honest, ... it's compelling, emotionally engaging, truthful, insightful ... it grew me.

    favourite line (from memory): > i want the man you were.
    > Terry's gone. he's dead. he died on the highway. he's dead and he's not coming back.
    > i can't stand having you look like him but - you're not him.
    > My name's Terry Evanshen, but I'm making him up every day. Let him die. Let me live.

    are you asking me on a date? ... who exactly is it that you're wanting to date?
    ...
    at daughter's wedding:
    i opened my eyes and didn't recognize her, but it wasn't long until i was opening them and hoping she'd be there.
    i'm hoping that tracey and joy have the kind of love that i have had, for as long as i had
    ...
    i almost forgot something. let's her see cue card - i'm supposed to kiss you and leave you breathless.

    you don't need to be dealing with an acquired brain injury to relate to this film. this isn't the first story of spouses forgetting who they really are.
