i saw the movie a month ago, and it was really good, and a tad bit over some peoples head, if they saw it.

I really like this movie I own it. Wish I had the directers cut though.

i've seen it 18 times... and i obviously own it... the quotes are wonderful and the cast is perfect. it can be confusing for new people, but thats the genius of it: that it can be interpreted so differently by so many people... i actually brought it to my summer camp last year and we watched it on a rainy day... v. fun.

It's just great. The whole movie is pretty dark, and some people really like that.

No one can explain why this film is a great film.

I really love this film, but a lot of people don't get the ending, so..yeah. I'd try to explain it, but I wouldn't be able to do it justice.

[size=24]OH MY GOD[color=red]!!![/color][/size]

Not to sound like a [i]screaming fan[/i],
but I absolutely [b]LOVED[/b] this movie! heart heart heart

I agree the cast is [size=18]terribly perfect[/size],
they all fit in their roles like a [color=green]glove[/color]!

[u]Jena Malone[/u] is a terrific actress, and
is great in [strike]everything[/strike] she does, and
[b]Jake Gyllenhaal [/b]should be praised
for his acting skills in this role.

This movie could be [i]confusing[/i] for
people that don't know what it
[i]signifies[/i] and what it is [strike]about[/strike],
so I reccommend reading a
review before [size=9]watching it[/size].

Okay...so I bought it the other night, right?

And I watched it....

And I CRIED! Oh my gods, I cried.

Everyone had always told me I needed to see it, and I always thought it would be even SLIGHTLY comedic...but alas... it was extremely saddening!

I think I'll watch it again soon...

I haven't seen it yet, but my drama teacher's husband is an extra towards the end of the movie (I think he is some guy carrying a streatcher)

I cried too, even though I had no idea what was going on.

I love Donnie Darko. It's up thier as one of my favorite films along with Jacob's Ladder and A Clockwork Orange. I own the director's cut and have watched the film beyond count. The acting is superb, the plot is winding and interesting the film crosses genres and has a lovely pacing till the last scene. I'd recommend it to anyone.
