Undescribable Perfection
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Miles is handsome and Amy Smart is pretty. Acting is good. The dialogue at the start is clever. Other reviewers have done a good summary of the story.Too bad the script writers lost their way and copped out for 12? replays of the same scene as a vehicle to carry the story. Mercy! I refuse to watch it again so I can count them.
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.SO PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN. In this film Amy Smart plays Kate. The character finds herself reliving Christmas Eve (including a blind date with a man named Miles) over and over again. She must discover how to break the cycle – should she attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend Jack, or should she pursue Miles, or something else? I love everything this movie did. I love the fact when Kate realizes that "she will relive the same day over and over again" she decides to feast on every dessert imaginable. This film also had lots of heart and its one of the better Christmas films. I will watch this again.
This movie was put out by ABC Family before it became the disaster of FreeForm and its crap programming. The story is a Groundhog Day copy of a sorts. However, it is very funny and touching. There are few different twists on it that help differentiate the movie from Groundhog Day. Amy Smart and Laura Miyata are EXTREMELY easy on the eye. Mark-Paul Gosselaar has come a long way from his Saved By the Bells days. All of the characters are fun to watch. This movie needs to be released on DVD. Thankfully, I captured it on DVR when it was shown, but a DVD would be a whole lot better. Overall, it is a good, family friendly Christmas movie without any Hollywood liberal agendas in it.
Almost anything with Amy Smart is worth watching in my opinion. While she does not embody the plastic beauty of the typical Hollywood star I find her extremely attractive in her own right. In this film she keeps waking up to a new Christmas Eve day. Now she remembers the previous days but everyone else doesn't. So she goes through the whole scenario time after time except some things change each day. Since she does remember it changes her actions and responses. It is a really nice film. Amy keeps altering the scenes because of her remembering the previous days. She starts out on the first day with a blind date with Myles Dufine played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Then she meets him again and again but in different scenarios. She also runs in to her ex, whom she still has feelings for at the start but as the days repeat she actually helps him pick a ring for her replacement. She meets a black women and they end up at her apartment eating whipped cream and dancing around. Mommy and Daddy show up with Mark while this is going on. So they go walking and end up at the bar. Here Amy runs into a guy who is apparently an angel (?) and tries to get him to fess up. Any way after many different scenarios Amy and Mark-Paul end up together. So all ends well. I have to say that I wished Amy Smart was my girl next door.
