I saw this movie last night and just LOVED it. I wasn't really sure what to expect and was holding my breath that Ashton was going to do a good job, and I think he did. There were a few "Dude, where's my car?" moments, but in all he did great IMHO. There were moments when I had to turn away and was just disturbed, but left feeling like I had gotten my moneys worth for a change!

I have to agree. I went into this with NO expectations (though that may be a reason that I liked it). It was pretty good. There were some moments that many would find distasteful and disturbing, but they were there for the effect. I have to say, though, that the ending was a let down. I won't give anything away, but they could have really ended this movie with a twist or a bang, but it seems they got tired of writing/filming and just ... stopped.

Having said that, I would recommend the movie to those wanting something a little weird, a little different. If you have an open mind, can get through a few disturbing moments, and can suspend belief for an hour and a half, this is worth a look.

I also saw this movie this weekend. I too LOVED it! My mother saw it after I did and she also loved it.

We left feeling really good for different reasons.

I liked the fact that every decision makes a huge change and you never know which one will make the most difference. Mom liked it because she can now honestly answer the question, "If you could change one thing in your life, what would you change?" With "Nothing!"
