The obvious thought when Ashton Kutcher is in the credits, is that this movie should be a comedy of sorts, but The Butterfly Effect is so far from being a comedy it is almost unbelievable (but trust me in a good way!)
Although, without trying to give to much of the story's plot away, the character of Evan, played by Kutcher, tries to changed his own fate, as well as the lives of his friend, but basically discovers in the end that sometimes you just can change what was meant to be, and ultimately gives up the one thing most important to him. (That was the best I could some it up with out some serious spoilers going on!)
Overall the movie was certainly different to what was expected, but it was rather touching, and proved that Kutcher can play the part of a serious actor, as well as a comedian. Amy Smart, Elden Henson and William Lee Scott also proved themselves to be great in this movie, being able to portray different roles for their characters throughout the movie.
To sum it up this was a movie that contains elements of drama, with a huge splash of Sci-fi. If you love that as well as Kutcher (as many I know do) then trust me, this is a movie for you!
