    Fantastic idea, but then again I have always loved intelligent movies that really get you thinking. Didn't hold back or pull any punches and was very well tied in with a classic ending that had you thinking about what really happened and why

    i like the story... it's just sad that the things you want it to be can never really happen when worst things do come in someone elses life

    This film was bad, but no way original--the plot was almost the same as Frequency (1999) and I believe that Frequency had a way better and an engaging plot than this one did.

    Moving on--Yes, this movie was sorta bad, it was interesting and all, though. The acting was great, the direction etc but the plot falls short (ruined by the twist). Also, they took the profanity and the sexual reference too far. This is my first movie seeing a 12 year old smoking and saying F words a lot--that was also a bad thing in the film.

    The only thing that ruined this film for me was its twist ending (though I kinda new it was coming, 'cause it was mentioned). The twist ending was one of the worst I've ever seen.

    I will say that initially, I thought this film had lots of holes, but now reflecting on it, I think that is unjustified. There are a lot of situations you wonder is right or whether should we just assume the benefit of the doubt. The ending in my opinion ruined it, very weak and just flowed drastically to give that idea rather than coming out naturally.

    This is one of the best movies that you'll ever see, sure i don't think what this kid goes through is common but it's possible.I know there is two endings, one is where he ends up having to get kaliegh to move in with her mom by telling her he hates her...the other is where he strangles him self with the embelical cord in his moms stomach.I find the first one more sad.Anyway see this movie it is so good!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s c it twice it'll make more sense!!:)

    I'm fond of this film. It's wonderful and makes other people to think.... The ends.. I saw the both, the first was on the Russian variant, it was happy but melancholy... The second was in English.. oh.. it was so sad((( But it's a great idea to creat 2 ends)

    Much better than I expected. Like a serious version of Back To The Future... and just as good!! Extremely thought-provoking, but the one thing I can't work out is the prison scene when he goes back and impales his hands to 'prove' to his inmate that he can travel through time - a plothole?!?
