Jake Gyllenhaal steals the show. Again.

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2009)

"Donnie Darko" is probably the definitive 'teen movie' of the new millennium so far.
Starting off as an eerie black comedy, the story spirals into an insane web of mystery and the supernatural. There are healthy amounts of humor thrown in for good measure and it actually works very well here. We don't really know what is going on until the end and when we do find out what Frank The Demon Bunny Rabbit is really all about, it is shocking and it makes the hairs on your arms stand up. Follow it to the end, you will not regret it.
I would give this movie a ten if it weren't for the abysmal acting and utter uselessness of Drew Barrymore and her character in "Donnie Darko." She hams it up big time, never believable for a moment as a high school teacher. She is outclassed here by every other actor in the bunch and should have remained merely a producer because she looks terrible. She almost ruined it but "Donnie Darko" is such a great flick, even SHE couldn't do that.
See it.
9 out of 10, kids.
