When I worked at fye, this was categorized as a comedy. 😬
I haven't seen this in at least fifteen years. I think watching it again now that I'm older made it less sad. In my memory, this movie was very sad, but that might have been influenced by over a decade of people talking about how it twisted their insides and ruined their life. Watching it now though, I think they should have definitely broken up. Maybe they didn't need to go get a medical procedure from Mark Buffalo, but break up, yes.
Even though I find it less sad, I liked it more than I did back then. For having a sci-fi element, it stays grounded in reality with the highs and lows of the relationship. When it is at its most sci-fi during the memory erasing scenes, it maintains balance by alternating with the Lacuna employees so you never go too far one direction.
