BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY FARE.
This is the third or fourth film that not only a rips-off of "Groundhog Day" but also rips off other rip-offs of "Christmas Theme Groundhog Day Films".
This is a creative bomb. There is nothing unique about this film. The film not only waist the talents of the actors they also could of had a unique film had the lead been OLDER and perhaps been cast with Catherine Hicks in that role instead of pushing her into "The Mother Role" in which she has very little to do. In fact her part is thin and not very essential to the film. Truth is that all her scenes should of been cut. Something tells me her part was shoehorned into a thin script.
My problem with lead actress (Marla Sokoloff) is that she is miscast as a ball buster. She comes across as someone who would be the secretary of a ball-buster who is secretly in love with the boss. Here she is the boss who gets fired on the eve of returning to her hometown to see her high school friend getting married.
Now of course our protagonist is a very flawed and for this she must relive the same day over & over again until she finally learns not to be "Nice".
Maybe had this film been cast with older (or better) actors it would of been more convincing!
There is plenty of "GOOD FAMILY SAFE" Christmas theme films. This is not one of them. If this is playing on an airplane you will more entertained by reading the instructions on a vomit bag!
