Why do people like this movie?

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2004)

**Possible Spoilers!** I did not want to see this movie in the first place and I really regret actually watching it. I mean, I'm not a big fan of Ashton Kutcher becoming a serious dramatic actor- he should definitely stick to comedy. The main reason for me not wanting me to see it was because of him, and perhaps I would have liked it more if someone else had played his character. But the movie stunk with or without him. I do think it was a good story in some ways. Sometimes it kept you interest, but most of the time I was just waiting to figure out what really happened in the blackouts and get the stupid movie over with. This movie only keeps people's attention because it just keeps dragging on! And what is this movie- a sci-fi thriller or some cheesy romance story? I must say some of the "what could have been" scenarios were just plain stupid. I was getting really annoyed with the little Ashton calling the dad "f-bag." The part where they burn the notebooks, so cheesy! Ashton with stubs for arms and then trying to commit suicide? Come on! The bad kid turning into a Jesus freak? Each scenarios just kept getting more and more absurd. I could go on more about how much I hated this movie, but I'll spare you. If you want to see a good psychological thriller, DON'T waste your time on this one!!!
