Forget
About It (2007)Jordan Landau is having a bad life. At twenty-five, she is attractive, smart, funny and talented. But all that doesn't keep her mother from calling her fat, her boss from stealing her ideas, and her boyfriend from cheating on her. Day in and day out, she sits back and watches as everyone walks all over her. Then one day while riding her bike home from a particularly awful day, Jordan collides with a car door and is knocked clear off her bicycle. Coming to in the hospital, Jordan realizes she has a perfect excuse for a "do-over"; she vows to fake amnesia and reinvent herself. And it works. Finally, Jordan is able to get the credit she deserves at work, and she stands up to her family and her jerk boyfriend. She's living the life she always dreamed of--until the unthinkable happens. Suddenly Jordan must start over for real, and figure out what really makes her happy--and how to live a truly memorable life. Jordan Landau sta avendo una brutta vita. A venticinque anni, è attraente, intelligente, divertente e di talento. Ma tutto questo non impedisce a sua madre di chiamarla grassa, al suo capo di rubarle le idee, e al suo fidanzato di tradirla. Giorno dopo giorno, lei si siede e guarda mentre tutti la calpestano. Poi un giorno mentre sta pedalando verso casa dopo un giorno particolarmente brutto, Jordan si scontra con la portiera di una macchina e viene buttata a terra dalla sua bicicletta. Arrivando in ospedale, Jordan capisce che ha la scusa perfetta per un "cambiamento"; giura di fingere amnesia e di reinventarsi. E funziona. Finalmente, Jordan è capace di ottenere i riconoscimenti che merita a lavoro, e si oppone alla sua famiglia ed al suo fidanzato. Sta vivendo la vita che ha sempre sognato - fino a che non succede l'impensabile. Improvvisamente Jordan deve davvero cominciare da zero, ed immaginarsi quello che davvero la rende felice - e come vivere una vita davvero memorabile. |
