Truly Awful! Why Couldn't I Have Blacked Out?!

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2007)

Poorly made film starring teen heart-throb Ashton Kutchner. Graphic yet unrealistic violence -- kids are slammed with lethal blows only to bounce back up again. Why it's Bugs and Road Runner!
Homophobic inferences and dialog. Awful dialog and acting.
I am amazed that it has a 7.7 rating as of this writing, but perhaps that is mostly from the teen set. If you are an adult and have any kind of intelligence, don't say you weren't warned. No kid should be watching this film anyway.
Perhaps, though, the NY Times (David Kehr, 23 Jan 2004) said it better than I could: "Even by the lax standards of January film releases ... 'The Butterfly Effect' is staggeringly bad." Also, "It includes several scenes of graphic violence, many directed against children and animals." Yes, this train wreck of a film even includes snuff film violence with animals.
