One of the best ever

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2002)

I saw Donnie Darko with mixed apprehensions about the completely unbelievable plotline I had heard of. A demonic bunny telling a kid what to do. Yeah. That sounds like a great flick. More like B rate trash.
But I was surprised in a wonderful way. Donnie Darko is one of the best movies I've ever seen, if not the best. It hits home on several points too, well, dark for movies like American Beauty. Even my favorite film, Fight Club, was geared more towards living a boring life than a depressing one like Donnie does. Yet it comes across as funny in some parts, tragic in others, and still remains very familiar to some of us. Especially a teenager who has seen his share of troubles. All in all the plot didn't drive me away and nothing should drive you away either. I'm not a fan of Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, or Jake Gyll...you know who. But this film was wonderful in more ways than I can say. Go out and buy this movie now. It's an unsung classic that shouldn't be missed but should be seen many times over.
