Some movies aren’t made to be remembered. Most movies, in fact, are not memorable. You’ve likely forgotten most of the movies that you have seen in your life. Does this mean those movies were bad? Not necessarily, but it doesn’t speak well of those movies. I would much rather have a memorable experience than lose two hours of my life to something that is not going to linger in my mind beyond the time I spent with it. All of this is to say that I saw and wrote about the movie Man of the House in 2005 and even revisited it for a podcast. And yet, when I tried to recall the movie, it was nearly impossible.
Man of the House is such a desperately forgettable experience that trying to recall it is an effort, and probably not worth such effort. So, I decided to try an experiment. Without consulting my previous review and fighting with my own memory, I am going to try and recall the experience of Man of the House. Then I will actually watch this trivial movie while consulting my original and podcast reviews of the movie just to see whether I am capable of recalling a movie that does not ask to be remembered.
