Factual error: The film is set in 1951 but Peter and Adele have their first dance to the tune "Stranger On The Shore" which was first released in 1961.

Is one of my favorite movies and I'm not always a Jim Carry fan.
Set in beautiful Fort Brag and Ferndale, it's a must see for all ages.
-100/10. Yet another movie where a comedian foolishly ventures outside his/her realm. This stubborn refusal they have to try and do drama is appalling. I've yet to see one where they were actually good. Plot's an utter bore. There's also a pointless complaint about TV becoming popular over cinema. Jim Carrey should stick with comedy as he's mostly lousy with drama. He's especially lousy in the committee scene where he uses the Constitution in that cliched manner that's been done to death in the movies. One of the first lousy movies of the 2000's.

Adele: You remember movies but you don't remember your life?
Trivia: In the movie Sand Pirates the villain holds up a gold statue head. It's the same gold statue head that Indy retrieves from the Incan temple in Raiders of the Lost Ark and rumoured to be enshrined in Lucas's living room. The Majestic writer/director Frank Darabont is a close friend of Lucas, writer of Young Indiana Jones, and also rumoured to be writing Indy 4.
Question: How is it that everybody except Bob mistook Peter for Luke? Luke was well-known by the whole town so it seems kind of strange that they would mistake a complete stranger with amnesia for someone they've actually known for a long time.

Answer: The father showed a picture of Luke. Peter and Luke were identical twins.
I'm hoping that this answer is implying that Peter and Luke are spitting images, and not actual identical twins, as there is no relation between the two men. Adele had her theories that Peter was not Luke, and Emmett stated that he knew at the reunion party. The town is fooled for a couple of reasons, mainly because he looks just like him. But also because they wanted to believe it was him. The town had suffered a lot of heartbreak after the war, and this was some good news, while it lasted.
