DONNIE DARKO **1/2 of ****

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2004)

DONNIE DARKO
I have a theory. Everyone loves this because they don't get it. Alot

like Mulholland Drive, I didn't get it. When I did get it, I disliked

it more. The ending is totally unsatisfying and a COMPLETE copout. One

thing this movie does do is portray 80's kids in a realistic manner.

I'm not totally sure what the purpose of Drew Barrymore's character

was, or why Jake Gyllenhaal was born. The movie is very intelligent

with it's lead up to the end and everything pieces together, but just

because a movie makes sense, doesn't mean it's good.
VERDICT: **1/2 of **** Not Recommended
