Ashton Kutcher blows. There, I said it. He can't take all the blame for making the Butterfly Effect a really long waste of time, but he certainly didn't add anything to it. The plot intention is one that is very intriguing. I love the idea of being able to rectify the past with knowledge you obtain in the future. However, this idea gets so outlandish in the B.E. that your mind starts to focus on the implausibility of what is happening. The idea behind these types of movies is that they have to be executed perfectly to pull it off. Or at the very least, keep you entertained a la Back the Future. Why I think that this movie had potential is because the writers have worked in all kinds of creepy shit like pedophilia, death and dismemberment. But the utter lack of an explanation as to how this "effect" really works and what it all means makes this one steamy plate of shit.
I will give props to that fat kid from American History X and Remember The Titans for letting them make him up like a goth who is pulling ass at like 4 bills easy. That's gonna be good for his self esteem. Not to mention mine.
