Lame? You missed something- watch it again.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2003)

A lot of people thought there was too much going on in this film to keep track of, but I think that's one of the beautiful things about it. There are so many sub-plots to follow that you could easily become lost. I think that what those people missed was the fact that every single thing that occurs after October 1st happens ONLY to steer Donnie to the event on October 30th.
Throughout the 29 days, the characters (especially Donnie's shrink, his girlfriend Gretchen, and Grandma Death) are all there to assure that the main event takes place so that they all can be saved. If you didn't understand that, watch it again! It's brilliant.
