The Butterfly Effect



Some films seem doomed to be hated by the viewer immediately, and after reading the opening ambiguously prophetic quote (attributed to no less an authority than "Chaos Theory") I thought The Butterfly Effect would blunder into such a fate. Miraculously, despite unremitting silliness, it manages to at least be entertaining and keep you on your toes, just as long as you don't think too hard about it, or ask too many questions.

Gah, only 2 piggies? You are a hard man to please! Okay, so not the greatest film ever made but an intriguing and thought provoking premise and at times just damn scarily executed. I would'a said 3.5 pigs personally although prehaps it deserves to lose half a pig of that tally for starring the god awful Ashton Kutcher.
