I was so looking forward to this movie since I'm a huge fan of Groundhog's Day and Hallmark's Hannukah movies are always winners.
However, I have two grievances: the female lead and the middle/rising action of this movie.
The lead actress' is so blah. It's not her acting, she's just so plain Jane that I kept wondering if they failed to hire someone for hair and makeup.
Like her hair, the middle of this movie was a snooze. The first twenty and last twenty made up for it, so I gave it seven stars.
Groundhog's Day this movie isn't. Heck, this isn't even, The Best Night of My Life, a YA book.
Both of these beat this one because the leads learn a lesson or change their ways. Someone even dies or gets badly injured. Not here. There are no real stakes or the 'so what' in 'Round and 'Round and that's what it needed. I became so bored, I actually started rooting for the hero's best friend with the shag carpeted van to get the girl. Instead, we watch the heroine get out of bed seven times only for her to find (I won't spoil it).
