Very cool.

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2001)

This is a very cool movie that manages the always difficult balance between a Fantastic premise and strong chracacter development. Some really great performance by Donnie and the young love interest really raise this movie a notch above most films of this ilk.
I also appreciated the way they managed to make the movie look authentically 1988. (Was Blockbuster around then? That's the only problem I sniffed). I'm sure there are a few nitpicking slips but the clothing and slang were authentic without being obvious sources of Era-comedy.
