overrated - I thought it was teen garbage film - one or two parts that made me chuckle - but overall I would not watch it again or recommend itnightshade85Were you expecting American Pie or something? You mentioning "one or two parts" that made you chuckle make me wonder if you were radically misled as to what to expect from the movie.

From your description of what disappointed you, it seems like that's what you expected.
Really interesting movie, but ultimately it dissappointed me. As I watched it, I was hoping by the end it would all make sense, but it just kept getting more convoluted.luccaface

From your description of what disappointed you, it seems like that's what you expected.no, from what I gathered I was expecting a sci-fi thriller or psychedelic - when I said there were a few parts I laughed at - I was just saying at least there was something redeeming - not enough, one funny part and no real inspiring portions for the rest of the hour and a half or however long that movie was
This movie was lent to my husbands mom and dad and it sat on the kitchen table for weeks and one day, when we were out of movies to watch, decided to borrow it. I was really sceptical, had never heard of it, had a weird cast including Patrick Swayze did not appeal, etc. BUT, I was impressed. I really enjoyed the entire flick, the opening credits, character introductions, the soundtrack was killer, and plot was obscure, not something I expected. Overall I found it to become, quickly, one of my favoritre movies, evento fall asleep to. Mainly it's the cinematography andsoundtrack that sucked me in at first. It was a fun movie that I didn't dread not understanding first-view, but actually anticipated the second, third and fourth. I'm not so much into itasI was in beginning.But it's still a kickass movie I'll think about watching... The Directors Cut is not as awesome, because they changed the soundtrack.

I thought we were talking about Donnie Darko, the movie.Roberta Sparrow's (or Grandma Death) book about time travel in the film explains... well, the whole movie. It talks about the tangent universe, how it must be corrected, and eventually, how it ends once the tangent universe is closed.
[QUOTE="SempiternalFett"]That's annoying to me. So I didn't even have a chance at fully understanding the story, and the author of the book that I'm supposed to read is also a character in the movie? That's a pretty sheisty gimmick IMO.Roberta Sparrow's (or Grandma Death) book about time travel in the film explains... well, the whole movie.

Not well known really.
I always wondered what it was until I saw it.

Actually the passages in the book he's talking about are shown in the Directors Cut of the movie. I'd highly recommend it it's much easier to follow
