"[...] Jake Gyllenhaal gives a superb performance as the title character, a lost, confused, brilliant teenager in the throes of a soul-deadening high school education. He sees a shrink and takes medication for his depression. But things have been getting worse; he's been sleepwalking and waking up miles away from his house.

He's alive, but strange things begin to happen. A self-help guru (Patrick Swayze) begins to infest the school and Donnie's favorite teacher (Drew Barrymore) loses her job over a Graham Greene story. One of the local crackpots, Mrs. Sparrow, turns out to be the author of a book on time travel. He even begins dating the new girl in school (Jena Malone). Strangest of all, he begins to have conversations about the end of the world with a six-foot demonic rabbit named Frank. [...]" (excerpt from [1])
