Ughh. This is the sequel to Donnie Darko, a movie I absolutely love. I saw it a few days ago, but decided to watch Donnie Darko again, hoping that by refreshing myself with the original I would find some redeeming qualities in the sequel.
Alas. I had a feeling S. Darko would be awful, but being as the same actress was playing Samantha (for S.), the younger sister of Donnie, I decided to bite the bullet. I don't blame the actors for this one. Blame the script (the original writer/director is gone). It is 100% unrefined garbage. After I rewatched Donnie Darko, it left me more appreciative than ever of this movie and more disgusted than ever with the sequel. There is not an original idea in the entire movie.
The good news is that I got a real kick watching Donnie Darko again, and was surprised to note that SETH ROGAN is in this movie! Talk about a shocker.
Anyway, if you've never seen Donnie Darko and like sf, I can't recommend this one enough. I consider it one of the best science fiction movies out there.
