Ashton Kutcher definately shows his acting versatility in this movie. It has a great storyline that knew exactly what it wanted to do and executed it exceptionally. It's a movie that based itself off of going into different directions and allowed the viewer to follow smoothly while being entertained. Not a lot of films that do that can ever accomplish what this one did.

This is a movie where the "professional" critics had a tea party and decided this was not a good movie. My suggestion is if you have a brain in your head and can follow complexity, you should watch this movie. It's great. If, however, you prefer crayons to parlay your cinematic preferences, become a film critic.
