Many reviewers thought it was a black version of Bedazzled. The guy goes back and tries different things/ways but it always go wrong no matter what. I think it was a good analogy.
You can't compare a comedy with a drama, but this time, both movies were funny. The laughs in "The Butterfly Effect" are many, but they're also unintentional.
I really tried to like that movie, I found myself laughing at the most inappropriate times mainly because I was waiting for Ashton to start cracking up. There's one shot of him crying while sitting in a wheelchair and he has stubs for arms that are sort of pointed in funny angles. I almost lost it. I couldn't help it. A stub-armed Ashton Kutcher is funny! So sue me. And don't even get me started on the sequence set in prison where Kutcher offers himself up as a prison bitch to some skinheads. Oh man, that was a scream.
