A schizophrenic teenager who escaped death because he was not home when an airplane turbine inexplicably fell into his bedroom has visions of a man-sized talking rabbit who tells him the world is going to end and directs him to commit acts of vandalism. His bunny friend talks to him about time travel, which prompts him to research that subject matter.
Like many films from the 2000s, this one has an unmerited reputation for innovativeness. But it does have an engaging cerebral plot -- a feature which was fashionable at that time. What lifts it up a bit is that, besides being a convoluted jigsaw puzzle about fate, it provides commentary about middle class life in America, which may or may not be true -- I would not know -- but at any rate is revealing about how people thought about middle class environments then. There is a somewhat problematic association made between psychiatric disorders and critical spirit, but I think the final word about this should come from professionals of that area of medical expertise.
