Miss Rabbitteen Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies, that being said, I actually really liked this movie. I think people give it more guff than it deserves. Did there NEED to be a sequel to Donnie Darko? Absolutely not. I don't think this film does the first any justice, but as a stand-alone film, I personally loved it. I liked how they cast the original Samantha Darko to reprise her role. I found it laughable, however, that they cast Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl. He is comically ridiculous. Jackson Rathbone did a good job as the "geek with a dark side". I was also satisfied with Briana Evigan's role of the somewhat bitchy, but ultimately loyal friend. Overall, it's not a perfect movie, but if you look past the wanna-be sequel title it claims, it's NOT as bad as everyone says it is.

toll-8 Let me start by saying, this film is the sequel to the brilliant Donnie Darko but don't make that reason force you to watch this. My advice is to avoid it at all costs.The film tries to be its predecessor but over complicates it, eradicates all sense of emotion and drama and casts actors who just cannot act. So basically the exact opposite to Donnie Darko. Sure that was complicated but the end sewed most things up and also it leaves so much lose that you want to watch it again and again with intrigue. This film however I barely made it through one full viewing. It is seriously bad.Right, it is about Donnie's sister, Samantha (Chase). She is in the first film but is eleven years old. Now she is eighteen and run away from home as her family has dismantled after her brother's death. As her and her mate Corey (Evigan) drive across country their car breaks down, leaving them stranded in a desolate town with weird town's folk. In this town lives a homeless Desert Ops veteran who has been having visions of Samantha telling him the world is going to end. When he sees her he tells her this and she begins to think about what this means. Next thing you know Samantha is killed but her mate is given the chance to go back in time and alter it so that she survives the car accident. I'm going to stop there for a second as this was a huge problem in the film. Her friend goes back into time but instead of preventing the car accident, she saves her friend and remains in the car that crashes. If she knows the outcome why doesn't she get out the car or even tell the car to go the other way. To me this was one of many major plot holes.Continuing on, Samantha is now alive and her mate dead but she isn't given the opportunity to save her friends life. We then interweave all the crazy sub-plots that involve a pointless town rebel, who has a brother who went missing along with another child, the town geek falling for Samantha and doing all he can to get with her and a man attempting to sell Christianity to her as well as having a strange relationship with one of the lost boys mother. What the hell! Donnie Darko had sub plots but they all related to the main plot. These ones just don't, and if they do the film could have done without them. Samantha then finds the missing boys although now dead, gets the veteran arrested and then has a date with the geek who seems to turn into an alien during a meteor storm. Then she rewinds to the beginning and decides to go home before this happens again. What a crock of pony. This tries to outdo the original and it really, really, epically fails. It is so bad.Nothing in this film makes any sense. Throughout I was puzzled as to what the hell was going on and at times I was even bored. All the characters are stereotypical and clichéd. They turn up at a desolate town and we have a geek, intact with glasses and high pants, the typical rebel, with sports car and beer and a weird religious nut. We also get a cameo from Elizabeth Berkley from Saved By The Bell, and her role is just pointless.Seriously never, ever, ever consider watching this film. The brilliance of the first one could be tarnished because of this dire sequel. We even get a reimagining of the bunny from the original and in this film it has no place, they have just brought it back to tie something in with the first. The director of the first reiterates that he had nothing to do with this film and has stated he wouldn't work with any of the actors who starred in this. If you haven't seen the first, watch it, you'll be intrigued, but don't bother with this. There is a very good reason it was released straight to DVD.

kkhannah Admittedly, I really wasn't expecting this film to be that good. The fact that it went straight to DVD only made me feel more skeptical and the only reason I ended up watching the film was because it was given to me. Thank God I didn't spend money on it. This movie takes all the good bits of Donnie Darko and tries to make a new movie out of them. However, the ending result is not an excellent film but feels more like a fan made feature. This may have something to do with the fact that Chris Fisher, director of the first film, had nothing to do with the sequel but nevertheless, the film does not stand on it's own. Some sequences actually feel like you're watching a deleted scene from the original film. The plot has essentially been copied from its predecessor, complete with the world ending, wormholes, time travel and even Frank, although he's represented by a metal mask. The acting does not redeem the film either. For most of the movie's running time, Daveigh Chase looks like she's struggling to show emotion. and for the most part, her and Brianna Evigan spend most of their time running around in skimpy dresses and shorts and alternately time travelling. They also share a line that is easily the worst in the film; it's only said two or three times but each made me wince. A hint is that it uses the word immaculate. The supporting characters are by far the most interesting, although that isn't really saying anything. Jackson Rathbone, as local science nerd Jeremy, is adorable and plays his role as the awkward geek fairly well, although he goes through a transformation at the end that is more than a little bizarre. So, for those Donnie Darko fans out there who have been contemplating seeing the movie, save yourself the pain. S. Darko is not worthy of bearing the moniker "a Donnie Darko film." This isn't a sequel to Donnie Darko; it's a rip-off, sucking all the parts out of the original movie that made it brilliant and dumbing them down. Save yourself the one and a half hours. Just don't bother.
