The idea is cool :) it's the kind of pub-talk-idea I usually enjoy a lot. But the execution is a disaster :( I guess it says a lot when Ashton Kutcher is the best actor of the movie (he wasn't bad, especially as a frat boy he looked very natural :p, but the other actors were hopeless). I also think the script is pretty horrible. And I haven't seen any interesting frame, cut or any form of original cinematic language to create deeper layers in the movie.

The thing that killed the movie most for me is that it became a caricature of itself. We all have childhood traumas and glories, and they shape us, but this movie makes the butterfly effect look ridiculous. Tommy from being a Juvie to a Saint, literally, or Kayleigh...

Movie worth watching as a teenager or for the idea, for the rest it is flat, clumsy and a waste of a nice plot for bad cinema.

Underrated movie.
Maybe because Kutcher is in it.
