    you've got to be kidding me! the low ratings make no sense. this movie is definitely not for the superficialist. great directing, and excellent DP. there are a couple of scenes that I think were a little gratuitous. overall i think this movie is excellent! the individual stories are about as antithetical as you can get, yet they eventually intersect one another. it's genius! it should make one wonder how their lives affect all other lives. Forest Whitakers' butterfly metaphor is so profound. kudos to Sarah Michelle Gellars', Andy Garcias', and Kevin Bacons', great performance! Brendan Fraser is superb! Maybe this isn't how people really behave, but I think it's how we wish that they would, (when it comes to doing the right thing). I think that this movie expresses many peoples hopes and dreams and struggles in a very believable way. Michelle summarizes it with what really matters. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for more than casual entertainment.

    I have seen people who don't like this movie, and that's a matter of appreciation. This movie has real meaning, is very well directed and performed, and I recommend it to anyone who likes to see the real values in movies.

    This movie has substance, along with nice acting, an entertaining plot, and an uplifting takeaway. Also, I'm not a fan of Brendan Frazier's movies but unlike most of his movies, it was refreshing to see him in a "dark" role which I think he did a terrific job with. I don't know why this movie got such a low rating. Although, it is not for the typical main stream movie watcher that mainly enjoys superficial action packed movies that are so-called box office hits.

    Yes   |   No
