Very. Confusing.  Had to read the imdb message boards to figure out what was going on…

    I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy this movie more. Lara and I caught this playing for free on cable and we *loved* it. I actually went out and bought it (along with Idiocracy it was my first DVD purchase in years). Given your reaction, hopefully you don’t remember me recommending it to you. :) Multiple viewings helps the viewer unravel the complexity.

    LOL… I didn’t remember your recommendation, so no worries. I really should give it another chance. I normally really enjoy movies like this (I liked Memento, The Prestige, etc., where there’s a lot going on and you really have to think to figure it out). I think I got lost with the multiple copies and the complications of going back in time (why the ear pieces, for example?) And why did Granger’s dad follow them in the car? I definitely need to give this another viewing…

    Just found this timeline, also.
