A real teen movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2003)

Films like Legally Blonde, Hey Dude wheres my car are presented and marketed as 'teen' movies. They are shallow and totally unsatisfying, quickly forgot, bubblegum movies. Now Donnie Darko, gets under your skin, leaves you wanting more and having nothing of the same caliber on offer, one is forced to watch the film again and again, savouring all the nuances and subtleties of this wonderful film on repeated viewing is a real delight. Please, please studio exec types pay attention, more films like this, less dumb ass childish comedies.
