personally i dont know if I'd consider Darko overrated .. it did strive to be different in a time when most american film aimed at young adults is mainstream romantic comedies ... so i think it gets kudos for origionality at least.

I thought it was somewhat convoluted .. like a lot of non linear films are ..

It had some cool imagry and it dared to think about the movie once it was over which is almost unheard of for films aimed at that demographic.

Not everyone has to love it but i think it should be admired for trying to do something different.

I dont know why but i began to see Napoleon Dynamite as the flip side of this film .. they both seem to exist in the same universe ...

they are both aimed at the same age group ... both guys are out of it .. both are in some kind of time warp (darko by a plot device - dynamite by a choice of artistic style)
Both take place at school for a good part of the movie.
Time travel is a common theme to them
One ends up a hero, the other ends up with an airplane in his room ...

Its not so much the parallels as the 'feel'

They somehow seemed related ... maybe they arent ...maybe just in my head.

I can see your points, but it's funny: I thought Napolean Dynamite was overrated too.
