Goofs
Zoe and Jack have an argument about whether she had been a cucumber or a tomato in her school play. Jack claims it doesn't matter because they're both vegetables. Zoe responds that a tomato is a fruit. Because cucumbers grow from flowers and contain seeds, however, they are botanically fruit as well. Carter might have won the argument if he had known this.

A Smart and Funny Puzzle

Before I Forget begins in the present and dials back a day into the past to fill in the details. It is story of ego, love, and creativity with Henry and Zoe taking front and center in separate (but lightly intersecting) story lines - we get more backstory for Henry and see the future developing for Zoe. The impossibility of the sci-fi developments and how the supposedly dumbest man in town (the Sheriff, of course) and geniuses solve the puzzle in their midst makes for a funny, heart-wrenching, and satisfying ride.
