"Did I ever tell you I was hit by lightning? Seven times!"


Guess the reference.

I liked it, but it made me read the original F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, which was so different...

I don't recall ever reading the short story, though I am familiar with some of his work. I guess turning a short story into almost (what?) 3 hours worth of movie is a bit of a stretch.
I liked the movie, but it seemed to remind me of "The Butterfly Effect".
