I promise, that one day, everything's going to be better for you.

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 2007)

If you idea of a good movie is to see teens discussing the sex lives of smurfs, then you will find something right up your alley here. Sadly, that is about one minute of this interesting film that defies description. Is it a supernatural thriller? A comedy? Irony? A coming-of-age movie? It is all of this and none of this.
Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Proof) plays an emotionally disturbed (szichophrenic?) teen who talks to a weird rabbit that tells him the world will end in 28 days. What happens in that time is the stuff legends are made of.
You will definitely not get this on the first viewing. Maybe, even after your 10th viewing, you will still be confused, but keep in mind, during this summer of endless sequels, that there has to be something that challenges you and makes you use your head for something more than placing a ball cap.
There is great acting by a variety of favorites, and great lines throughout, but it is not about the actors or the lines. It's about you. Check it out.
