The breakdown:  A man awakens in the hospital with the ability to time travel, but first he must try to remember how he got into the hospital in the first place.

Phillippe plays a man named Simon that wakes up with a start in the hospital.  The dr. tells him he died, but that they revived him and that he was involved in an accident.  He asks Phillippe questions he should know the answer to, but he's easily confused.  He can't remember what the date is, or the year, and he doesn't remember any accident.  The dr. tells him he may have suffered some memory loss and to give it time, and that it should come back to him.  In the meantime, the dr. asks if Phillippe wants to see his wife, but unfortunately, he doesn't even remember getting married.  Things get weird when the wife slaps Phillipe across the face and starts talking about things he doesn't understand.  Then he starts time traveling between 2 different years, but in the same hospital.

Even though the plot sounded good, it ended up being too much like many films before it, and was doomed to be an overdone plot.  I watched it all the way through, intrigued at the beginning, but by the end, I felt like I was a bit cheated.

Do not see this movie, it was just so-so.
2 out of 5 for a well done, but over done film, and not original at all.
