THE KUTCHER EFFECT? Butterfly Effect (2004) *1/2

Butterfly Effect stars Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart as lovers tragically fated ... until Evan (Kutcher) discovers time travel and seeks to reorder the past. This is a dark psychological thriller and, at places, delivers the goods. But there are far too stupid moments clogging up the script.


Why does Kayleigh's brother have to be such a psycho? Why does Evan have the power - or how - to travel in time?? Why is Se7en in the picture?!?! It's tempting to blame Kutcher here as with a lot his misfires but the truth is there are serious problems all around. Smart is good as always but she's got nothing to do.


Stars: Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, Elden Henson, William Lee Scott, Melora Walters, Ethan Suplee and Eric Stoltz.


Writer-directors Jonathan Mackye Gruber and Eric Bress
