Very different

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2012)

Imagine the rabbit from Harvey with Jimmy Stuart transported to the future delivering apocalyptic messages to a troubled teenager. Donnie Darko(Jake Gyllenhaal) is the boy receiving bugs bunnies prophecies of doom.
A plane's engine crashes into Donnie's house but investigators don't know where it came from. He later meets Gretchen Ross(Jena Malone) and falls in love with her. What happens next involves a series of events including time travel and a highly unusual love story combined with science fiction. Jake's real life sister Maggie plays that role here and the two have great chemistry together on screen; it's perfect casting. The soundtrack is also outstanding, making Ronnie Darko well worth your time.
