D+ Boston Globe Ty Burr "A film of singularly boneheaded conceits..." more... D   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "I enjoyed The Butterfly Effect, up to a point. That point was reached too long before the end of the movie." more... C+ Chicago Tribune Mark Caro "Kutcher delivers a credibly serious performance..." more... C+ Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "Although more than a few significant problems mar The Butterfly Effect, the film exerts a weird attraction." more... B   E! Online "By the end, its ridiculous wackiness will have you clutching your seat--no, not in suspense, but to control your laughter." more... C- filmcritic.com Norm Schrager "The Ashton Kutcher crowd (and you know who you are) will probably love this film." more... B- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "A fun roller coaster ride that requires total suspension of disbelief." more...

C- New York Times Dave Kehr "...staggeringly bad." more... F   ReelViews James Berardinelli "...a compelling and intriguing movie..." more... B   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "In its own ridiculous way, The Butterfly Effect is an entertaining movie..." more... C+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "The metaphysics are fuzzy at best and just plain sloppy the rest of the time..." more...
