Fluff and time travel
First movie of yesterday was fluff. Mean Girls was yet another high school comedy with a rather typical setting. Nice, but nothing that needs to be seen. The movie had some twist in it, but would've needed a lot more.
The Butterfly Effect was much more interesting. While Ashton Kutcher is quite far from a good actor, it was still a decent movie with a rather interesting plot. However, it went a bit astray at times (the prison episode was, for example, too much). Still, thanks to the sharp ending (which was quite dull and stupid in the theatrical version, I read) the movie left a rather good taste. The plot will probably fall apart if examined more closely (Johanna found a problem right away), but that's the risk with time travel movies. The concept of how changing a small bit in the initial situation results in huge changes in the end was made clear.
While I recommend the movie especially to those who enjoy time travel themes, make sure you see the director's cut and not the theatrical version. There's a big difference... And Ashton Kutcher still sucks, no matter what.
