Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Rohit Gahlowt Based on the short story "12:01 PM" by Richard A. Lupoff, this is a fabulous film.The protagonist witnesses the murder of a woman he secretly likes. She is killed in front of him and he is unable to do anything to save her. That night he goes to a bar to drown his sorrows and mourn her death. And as he is returning home, there is a storm and he gets an electric shock at exactly 12:01 AM.The next morning he heads to office and is stunned to see the same girl he had seen murdered last evening. She's alive, and hale and hearty! How?He now realizes that the day hasn't moved on. It's still the previous day! And that evening he sees her gunned down yet again!The next morning he wakes up eagerly and sees it's the same day again and the woman is alive and will be killed as expectedly in the evening. And she is gunned down again and again and again, repeatedly, at the same time, again and again. So now he has all the time in the world to stop the murder of the love of his life, and it's not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it's going to be hell for him. I found this better than Groundhog Day, and I mean it.

geobear75 Most of the movie was actually quite fun. But for me it went a bit sour toward the end. I'm trying not to give TOO much away, so let's just say that I found many of the main character's actions to be extremely self-centered. Usually in one of these repeat-the-day movies, the main character grows by the end of the film. They realize that they have the chance to fix most of what went wrong. This one really doesn't have that. Even by the end of the film, the only two things the main character was interested in were getting the girl and ending the time loop. If the writers just would've reset the day one last time, they could've fixed the things that went wrong (including one actual DEATH) on the last run-through instead of selfishly pushing through. It was disappointing.

observator_ro There are many reviews telling you everything that is good (or bad) about this movie. All I want to say is that I first see this movie more than 15 years ago. Since that moment, periodically I wanted to see it again but in the meantime I forgot its name. I finally found it and bought the DVD. The main reason I wanted to see it again was that this was in my opinion the funniest comedy I ever saw but not only. Although I like very much Groundhog Day movie, they are 2 completely different movies. I would strongly recommend to anyone to see this movie and as many said, you may realize that this movie will stay in your mind for a long time without realizing exactly why.

valjean451 It's been 10 years since I saw this movie, but it still sticks out in my mind as surprisingly enjoyable. Jonathan Silverman (best known for "Week-end at Bernie's") is always appealing and quirky, and this film is essentially a romantic comedy masquerading under a sci-fi plot device.Forget about the plot device. What makes this movie compelling is its depiction of somebody who is forced to throw caution to the winds, and who abruptly finds himself in a bizarre situation where his (normally paralyzing) social awkwardness is no longer limiting. Despite the sci-fi clichés, Silverman makes the romantic angle genuinely touching to watch, notwithstanding the fact that the heroine, played by Helen Slater, remains something of a cipher.In sum, if you're looking for a breezy sci-fi comedy that you can watch with a girl, this is good bet. You probably won't find it in Blockbuster, but some of the other video stores might have an old copy tucked away.
