I liked it okay - mostly ambivalent to it. I think much of my active interest in watching it was trying to determine where it revealed being real or fake as there was some buzz about that around its release.
seanyboy - that was my first thought, too. It didn't occur to me that the UWM story could be fake until I looked at the comments about it. It certainly left out some major chunks - like why didn't his dad come to NY to see him when he found out he'd lost his memory?
We concluded that the guy was an asshole prior to the memory loss, and that the death of his mother triggered it and the personality change. If it's real, whenever it comes back (95% chance that it would, the Drs. say), it would be ugly, I think.
