Would rather spend two Hours in The Dentists Chair

Rating: 3/10 (11 May 2004)

I've never liked movies that try really hard to be mysterious and metaphysical to the extent they make no sense at all. I watched this movie twice and still don't understand why you'd think this movie made any sense at all. Maybe I'm too old to care about a movie about an irritating teenager having hallucinations. The plot line makes no sense, even after you've seen it twice, the actors all appear to be autistic, since even the most horrible things don't seem to affect them at all, and worst of all it's silly. I had no sympathy or even interest in any of the characters, and the lead character Donnie Darko was dull and his motives ambiguous. The second time I saw it was even worse(if that's possible), without even the promise of some sort of surprise to keep me awake.
