Think and Enjoy...

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2007)

It seems like these days that if the casual moviegoer has to use more than an ounce of gray matter then it's either a bomb or way too far out. This flick is neither...the film is original, well conceived and entertaining. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at Ashton Kutcher's acting ability(B+)... also kudos to the rest of the cast. The writer,director and actors pushed this film to the edge of the envelope... in the mold of many independent projects. My hats off and I give this smart piece of work an 8/10. In closing, I hope that the many negative posts do not persuade other moviegoers to pass on "The Butterfly Effect (2004)". I feel that almost any movie I have viewed with an opinion based on purely my own inability to "just not get it" or "thought was confusing" when viewed another time or light years latter have "almost always" come to understand or at the very least realize what the writer/director/actors were trying to get across. Likes and dislikes as we all know are in eye/ears of the beholder. I hope this post was helpful. Enjoy the flicks and Take Care...
