Hilariosity!

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2020)

Oh my, this movie is so bad I love it. The first time I watched (standart edition) it in 2010 I think, it was so boring and plot was so bad, the ending of Donnie dying was so insulting. So I thought I'll give it another try , the second time I watched a few weeks ago (director's cut) and it was so funny, so ridiculous that I loved it.
The characters: you get some really funny people here. Donnie Darko is a bit of rebel, he's rude, smart and has some mental problems, he SEES DEAD PEOPLE (oh, wait wrong movie? Or is it?) Anyway his friends are as stupid as they can be. And bullies, oh my, the bullies are the best with their dialogue "I like your boobs", how could you not laugh from this. Most characters have really funny lines like "You're b*tchy, but not a b*tch" or "I think you're an antichrist". This is one of the best unintentional comedies I've seen.
The plot is the best part of the movie, to be honest I see how fans think it's smart, but to me it's just so bad it's good. The last part of movie went so over the top, the bullies showed up out of nowhere, the deaths of characters were so funny, like the way how Donnie's girlfriend died, because Donnie sent a letter to Grandma Death or the thing that Bunny just showed up in the movie for the first time (as a real person) just to die instantly to be sent to help Donnie in the alternative universe's past, it's so funny. I love the whole Donnie being a superhero concept, but obviously the whole time travel thing was so bad that at the end Donnie suicided, yes suicided, he knew what's going to happen, he could've just walked away, but he stayed and laughed the whole time. He clearly laughed of how bad this film is.
Background details: one of the best thing about the plot is that in the background there are a bit more happenning then you may think. For example one of the goverment guys is spying on Donnie the whole movie, you can see him in background of some scenes, this is genius.
Verdict: Donnie Darko is a mess. If you think it's awesome it's your choice, and I understand why. But for me this movie is just so ridiculous, it was so bad and funny that I put it in the same place as Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" (2003)
