This movie is a mess

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2007)

Most characters are soooo archetypal (the bullies, the religious fanatic teacher, the self-help guy...). Other characters behave in a most unbelievable way. There are no "absolutely good" characters, and there are many "absolutely evil" characters. Add a sexy English teacher, and you have a mystery-sci-fi-intellectual teen movie, worth exactly 6/10 to me.
One more thing. I hate movies and books in which science and magic gets mixed up. You can have one or the other, but not both.
If you are looking for a good mystery/sci-fi, watch "Butterfly Effect", "Blue Velvet" or "A Beautiful Mind" instead. "Donnie Darko" doesn't deserve its current #102.
