This film is garbage.

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2009)

Since 1981, I've walked out of three films, "Reds," "The Piano," and now this stinking rotten flick, "The Butterfly Effect." You've got to be pretty stupid to play along with the poor script, the Kucher level acting and the improbability/unbelievability of the entire program.
That said, millions are made off of dumb audiences every day. However, this film doesn't add to our world culturally, scientifically or even help make our world a better place. "The Butterfly Effect" makes the world poorer in spirit and likely will provide misery for those too weak to avoid it.
I once saw a nice film, "Flowers for Algernon" and though it has been a while, once I'd hit the eject button on the player and thrown the "Butterfly" DVD across the room, I wish there were something better immediately to help cleanse my thoughts. I don't believe in censorship, however, I'd never want my children or those I love to be exposed to this crummy idiotic film.
