The Butterfly Effect

(2004)

Kelso from That 70's Television Program finds out that he can go back in time and change the past and shit, but every time he does he manages to fuck up and make things worse and worse. First he ends up in jail, and later he drives people crazy, or blows up little kids, or wakes up with no arms... Each time it gets more & more ridiculous- I'm surprised by the end he didn't wake up to robots taking over the world because one day when he was six he wouldn't eat his oatmeal or something. Not that the stuff that does happen is much more believable. Like what kind of lawyer gets you sent to maximum security prison for self-defense? And who stands in front of a mailbox when they know it's about to explode? But the big question is: how come none of Kelso's dipshit friends can do anything right without his help? Like if he changes things they're fine, but if he doesn't they all become psychopaths and crack whores and shit. It's fucking retarded. This movie might have been okay if they showed at least one of the many people who explode actually blowing up, or if we saw more of that fat goth guy's dates naked (he was a serious pimp), but neither of those things happen so basically all that's left is a depressing, boring version of Back to the Future Part 2 starring Kelso.

I wonder if that's how they pitched this movie?
