Just watched it last night. I thought it was ok, not what I really expected it to be. To be honest I def thought it was going to be another drug movie like Blow or something. I did like how the director tied all the characters into each others lives though. What did everyone else think?

Yeah I thought it was going to be a bout drugs too. It was like too depressing though. Everything was so fucked up. I watched it with my girlfriend and after it was over we were both just like I'm ready to go kill myself now. I did think it was really well done and interesting.

It was really weird. Not a makeout movie. The premise kinda reminded me of Bounce, with the whole widow/still alive dude thing. I thought it was pretty good, Kinda relieved it wasnt another drug movie, cause it switched it up.

personally, i thought it was a sick movie. probably one of my all time faviorates. of course its not a makeout movie, it didnt try to be, or get advertised as such, it was made to try and make you think a little. at the moment of your death, the fact that you only lose 21 grams, the wieght of only 5 nickels, makes you think, all youre really losing is 21 grams.

also theres a theory that the reason for you losing 21 grams at the exact moment of your death, is that that is the weight of your soul, and when you die, htats your soul leaving your body. and that when cats and dogs die, they dont lose any weight, because they have no soul

The story was great and the way it was put together was almost there, i thought the scenes in the beginning were just a touch too short, the whole not chronological thing is good but they could have done it a little better, in my opinion
