So beautifully haunting

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2006)

I steered away from this movie completely, I mean, Ashton Kutcher in a drama? It seemed like some crazy alternate universe. But everyone just keeps telling me on and on about how great this movie is, so I figured why not give it a chance? I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how well this picture was made.
Ashton plays Evan, a guy who has had a pretty bad childhood, but always blacks out at key moments in his life, so a therapist suggests write down as much as he can remember about the incident in a journal. But when he grows up and over all has a decent life, he bumps into his old crush and she has turned out pretty bad, she ends up killing herself, but when Evan finds out that he can turn back time by reading his journal, he can change the past. So, he does that several times finding out that the past is too precious to change and to except things as they are.
Even though I wasn't as into this movie as I can see others are, I still very much enjoyed it. Like I said, this turned into a surprisingly good film and Ashton actually did a good job as a dramatic actor, he just scored some points on my list.
7/10
