Critic Review - Movie Talk

A decidedly weird time-travel drama that puzzled viewers so much that many went back to see it again and again... Unfortunately, Kelly's extended version diminishes the film's impact.

Agreed--the DC should be entirely avoided. Too spoon-feeding and way too tacky with the grid and fireworks during the once-nice flashbacks through time. I also don't like the song substitutions. Good thing Kelly didn't get his way all the time!
