I just watched a film which I have been meaning to watch for years.
Knowing it was utterly brilliant, I've even bought it as a DVD for a Christmas present some years ago thinking "dead cert" - "everybody loves this" - "stocking filler/crowdpleaser/job done".
Sadly, I've just discovered it's rubbish.
Yes, I know I was as shocked as you are.
But Donnie Darko is not a film you should waste any time watching.
And yet it scores 8.1 on IMDb. It scores 85% on Rotten Tomatoes (although the comments aren't great).
One word keeps coming... Overrated
We loves Gary Jules 'Mad World' song. It's brilliant. But it's not a reason to watch the film.
But once again the Internet actually does have all the information you need to discover this but when you look at reviews on IMDb, (not for the first time) you have to select the people who disliked the movie.
They will tell you accurately everything about why it's not entertaining.
Then, it's your own lookout.
What's going on with the rest of these people, I really have no idea.
Although if they went around wearing hats that scream in embroidery "I Have Poor Judgement", it would make life an awful lot easier.
