Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
comarrapese Couldn't think of a title^ anyways, don't be a hater and try to point out the plot holes in this movie and take it as it is. This movie has a sick idea and creates a emotional and thrilling story inside of it. I don't really like the name Evan, and was kind of mad i found myself rooting for a guy named Evan, but that just shows how good Ashton Kutcher is in this movie. I'm a die hard Charlie Sheen fan and was not a fan of Ashton Kutch in Two and a Half Men, but he is really good in this. CONCLUSION- If you are looking for an good movie that you will be surprised and intrigued by, watch this. PS The directors ending/cut is the way to go.
CarltonInertiaWilson I saw this movie when it came out and liked it, but wasn't blown away. Forgot about it honestly. I just watched it again 14 years later and I am floored. I can't believe I didn't get it the first time. Simple one of THE best movies I have ever seen. Hands down.
Leon Smoothy This might seem a cheesy plotline, but is actually very entertaining. To make things short, it's just what the title reveals; small changes, if you could do them; and who has not ever thought of what would had happened if you just kicked that horrible bully in the teeth/took that seemingly amazing opportunity/ stood back from taking a certain step, intervened when you never did, would have resulted in 20 years later? A better life, or a worse? In all its silliness, it's a damn entertaining movie.
marianajb Wow! What a lot of crap I just saw, incredible! I have too say that the only brain damaged during this film was mine. It really impressed me the thousands of clichés that this movie has; it was one after the other one, and it never stopped. Do not get me wrong though, the plot and the whole idea of the butterfly effect is pretty cool, you just need to know how to express it; since it is a very complex idea. Many people say that these movie is underrated because of Ashton Kutcher's performance, but in my opinion, everything else is so bad (and I mean really bad), that I probably didn't pay much of attention to him, but for example, if the direction is bad, and if the actor is not really good, he or she obviously needs that support of the director;and since the direction of this movie its awful, and probably one of the worst I have ever seen, there for everything else is wrong, and awful, and bad, and list goes on (in this movie). There was even a part were I almost cried of how terrible it is.
