donnie darko? i think not.


i don't know how this came about, but i've seen several user comments and a couple message board posts that claim that this film is like the new donnie darko. and i've also seen some people post emphatically, that, NO, IT IS NOT. i guess i don't know how that connection has been made.

this movie is nothing like donnie darko.

with that said, i loved the film. i like donnie darko, too, but the films aren't related.

Donnie Darko?! I don't see the link between the two either. Watching it as we speak. Zooey Deschanel is great at playing quirky characters. She's so strange in this 'un.

I guess the only link is the melancholic atmosphere and that it's about a lonely person. But apart from that.. no.

I don't understand everyone citing Donnie Darko either. That movie was comedic science fiction. This is far from either comedy or science fiction. I liked it, though. Well....besides Chris Klein. He's is just awful in everything he's in.
