If you are looking for a batshit crazy movie, Donnie Darko is for you. Or maybe it's apeshit?What is it all about? Is he dead? Is he dreaming? Is he in a parallel universe? Is it all of the above? Who knows and after the movie was over, I didn't care much at all.
Drew Barrymore is in this movie and she's listed as executive producer, so I think the writer/director must be a friend of hers because otherwise, this movie probably wouldn't have been made.
Donnie has a 6 foot imaginary friend or is it fiend that is a rabbit with a scary metal mask. Of course, his name is Frank and he takes off the mask and says his father is Frank and his father's father is also Frank and then he shows up as a non-rabbit character also named Frank, so it's all about crazy Frankland.
It's got both Jake & Maggie Gyllenhaal before they were more well known and a gratuitous Patrick Swayze. Maybe you need to be on some kind of psychotropic drugs to get into this movie, but I wouldn't know about that. I can't recommend it.
