One reviewer hit the nail on the head with their verdict: John
Hughes meets David Lynch. Of course that's just an idea of what
wonders await you in Donnie Darko. This clever, well written and
beautifully directed movie was made for next to no money and
proves that you don't need a Titanic style budget to make a movie
gem. The cast and crew are excellent while Frank has become an
instant icon. First time viewers: watch it around midnight and then
watch it again, preferably with DVD commentary. You won't regret
it.
