teenage romance disguised as sci-fi

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2012)

Not saying that it's the worst movie that's ever made, but it's nothing short of a teenage romance film disguised as a science fiction.
One big flaw of Donnie Darko is that the protagnist Donald Darko has all the luck in the world as a somewhat unpopular guy in school is all of a sudden hooked up with the prettiest girl in school (mind you, the pretty girl is portrayed as a loner coming from a dysfunctional family who seeks help that's also a brainiac).
If you are a science freak who wants to dissect into the world of physics and try to figure out how the time-traveling which appeared in the film works, it's all up to you, because in the end nothing will be earned.
Also, the movie is really LONG.
