I laughed, I cried...

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2004)

I did laugh a little, but didn't cry. Just being different doesn't make a movie good, but this one is a good movie that is definitely different. My own interpretation is that the way it turned out at the end is the way it really happened in the beginning, but we just saw how bad things would've turned out if hadn't happened that way. In other words, if the sky is falling it'll just makes things worse if you try to get out of the way, . That's about as clear as I can get about Donnie Darko. Along the way of making this important point, there was lots of good acting, situation comedy of the darker kind and shameless hypocrisy . The DVD was not the best ever pressed as the video was often grainy and smeary but there are a few interesting extras that you'd never see on a cable/satellite broadcast.
