I had a difficult time getting through this movie in one sitting. I had it TiVo'd so I watched it in spurts. The problems that I had with it were three-fold: 1) the idea that a woman could simply hit her head on a kitchen cabinet and go through an amnestic state to that extent was implausible, 2) the unprofessional behavior of the psychiatrist, 3) the chronic anger of her husband.
With regard to the first issue, I just think that it would have been more plausible for her to have had this condition after the trauma of her car accident years earlier, rather than by simply cracking her head on her kitchen cabinet.
Secondly, I am really sick of seeing mental health providers depicted in an inappropriate manner. The psychiatrist takes it upon himself to sit with Meagan and her husband while out for the evening and casually spills-the-beans about confidential information contained in their sessions together --a major violation of psychotherapy that could have resulted in him losing his license to practice psychotherapy. (By the way, psychotherapy is not typically done by psychiatrists anymore. Psychiatry, in the last 30 or so years has focused on writing prescriptions. Psychologists are the docs who do psychotherapy nowdays.)
Lastly, Meagan's husband seemed chronically angry throughout her ordeal, so much so, that I found myself not wanting her to get back with him at all.
