But he LIKES his new life as a mechanic and when he tells his wife he wants to make some changes, she is much more concerned about maintaining her class status and it looks like she's ready to change husbands!
The idea of amnesia has really been overused in films. It's a relatively rare phenomenon and often doesn't last long at all. So, with so many amnesia plots, I felt the whole idea was a bit stale. Fortunately, the stale idea was given some new life in this one as there are a few twists that keep it interesting. Worth seeing--so stick with this even with its amnesia theme.
