How were people confused?

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2002)

Before seeing this movie I heard that it was just too confusing.
I now believe that the people who said they were confused must either have not been paying attention, and/or they are just stupid.
This movie is very enjoyable, and if you can bring yourself to make the jump at the end, it is very worth it. It explains itself, and while I don't want to offer any spoilers, I didn't find the movie confusing at all. It handled the complex plot (which turns out to be very simple) in a mysterious and very original way.
After some of the horrible, terrible, monstrously awful Tom Cruise has been in recently (Mission Impossible 2), Cruise did a great job in Vanilla Sky. Penelope Cruz was halfway decent and played her role well, although I really don't care for her off the screen she was effective in this movie.
