See Jane Run (1995)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

"See Jane Run" is a great book written by Joy Fielding. This movie bears so little resemblance to the book that I can't believe it! Jane finds herself in downtown Boston one day with absolutely no memory of who she is, where she is or how she got there. She finds her way to the hospital, where a very handsome, charming doctor claims her as his wife and takes her home. He's very loving and attentive and promises to do everything to help Jane regain her memory. Jane begins to have flashes of memory, but the pieces don't fit with what her husband has told her. Is there something terribly wrong or is she just emotionally and mentally unstable? Please read the book to find out. The book has absolutely no nonsense about Jane having the ability to see the future. There is a completely valid reason for her to have amnesia, and when she does remember, you won't believe it! Run, don't walk, to your nearest library or bookstore. Don't waste your time with this movie. (No offense to Joanna Kerns, who is a very good actress!)

Compelling tale of a woman who has lost her memory; has she suffered a severe mental breakdown? Or is she being set-up by her 'devoted' husband? Unfortunately once those questions are answered the movie tends to go down-hill, nevertheless excellent performances from the female and male lead. 7 out of 10.

Standard Lifetime anti-man movie with standard amnesia-victim plot. The man of course is portrayed as a diabolically evil mastermind who the women must unite against to defeat. I suppose this is meant to be inspiring to women, but it just doesn't make for a realistic film. The amnesia angle is supposed to make you expect plot twists and turns, but everything that happens is predictable. Lots of eye-rolling. All of the actors & actresses are good, but this vehicle wastes their skills. This isn't a *bad* movie, but I certainly wouldn't call it *good* either. I watched it at 3am and all I can say is that it was better than watching infomercials.

I like this movie because it stars Jonnah Kerns. When I was watching "See Jane Run", I was astonished at how brilliantly Jonnah Kerns acted in this movie. She is so good that it is too hard to explain. If you also like Jonnah Kerns, she plays Maggie Seaver/Malone in "Growing Pains" which is another great show. It is very funny.
