it's one of those movies where people who didn't get it, say it was good to make them appear more hip... kinda like they do with mullholland drive.
this guy sums it up.....
-------------------------------------------------
"I'm predicting "Donnie Darko" will be the year's most overrated film. It smells like the kind of movie that wants you to think it's really deep, causing people to claim they loved it even though they actually found it incomprehensible.
I defy you to tell me what this movie is about and point out portions of it to support your theory. It's occasionally about the opposite emotions of love and fear and what falls in between them, but it's also sometimes about fate and predestination. For that matter, sometimes it's a character study, and other times it's a science-fiction time-travel fantasy. But it is none of these things long enough or with enough commitment to develop any of them. As a result, it's a mish-mash of disparate, non-cohesive ideas, the sort of film that thinks it's brilliant just because no one understands it.
