With regards to this movie, c'mon, its rubbish and you are all pretending to like it. Okay the jokes over, like Lost in Translation (subtle? no, * * * * * * * * more like) Donnie Darko has gathered an undeserved cult status. Seriously take a good look at it. It is self indulgent pretentious drivel, and no, its not that I dont understand it, its because its not entertaining!! Geddit. The acting is trite and wooden, schoolkids?? Jake Gyllenhall looks about 30 in it. The story is patchy and full of holes, deliberate, to hide the dogy screenplay and time frame of the plot. Anyway, I have already rented too much headspace to this film. Its mince.
