I wanted to but couldn't!

Admirable film.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a clever movie with a sense of fun, well-written and well-acted. I wish I could own a digital copy, but it is only available on DVD. My question is what happened to Jonathan Silverman. He is a great actor, very appealing and engaging. He should have made a career in feature films, but in the end all he is known for his Northern Exposure TV series. At least, this is a movie that shows his chops.

When you write a review you are meant to do just that, review it. So please can people stop writing the synopsis of the movie over and over, that is already done, we don't need to read it re-worded umpteen different times over and over.This film is good, a little dated, but solid plot and reasonable acting (for the most part) make up for it. I got a hold of it as I thought it was a Sci-fi movie, it sort of is, but probably more comedy than Sci-fi. Still it is a reasonable flick and it is quite light viewing which sometimes can be a welcome break.Enjoy.

Whatever happened to Joanathan Slverman? He made some mildly entertaining movies for cable in the 1990s and then. ... Well, anyhow, here he is in a reasonably decent knockoff of GROUNDHOG DAY, only this one involves murder and a faulty particle accelerator that could spell doom. Silverman plays a mild mannered office worker who falls for a curvy scientist played by Helen Slater. (Get in line, Jonathan.) Problem is, he no sooner meets her when she's shot dead. And he wakes up the next morning to find it's the same day all over again. He tries to save her but fails. On the third day, he starts to get smart. She of course finds it hard to believe they are in a time loop, since she doesn't recall any of the things he does. The movie is actually lighthearted and lively, thanks to Silvermaa and Slater and a script that doesn't take itself too seriously. Jeremy Piven has a supporting role as Silverman's wisecracking office buddy, and Martin Landau plays an obsessed scientist. 12:01 is breezy and easy to take, if a little too much like GROUNDHOG DAY.

Many years ago I watched this film and it is absolutely true - to this day I have never forgotten it. It was one late night sat up with my older brother, I must have been about 11 yrs old!!I can't believe that I'm not the only one who feels this way, but why the film has always stayed with me I just don't know. I forgot the title for a while and asked my brother one day a few years ago if he remembered the film- he did and I have always tried to find it! Now like-minded people have helped in me remembering the film clearly. I will continue my search now to own a copy as I now know it is available on DVD. I have seen Groundog Day also but don't ask me if I remember it- because I don't!
