Sadly Over-hyped
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreOne of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
... View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
... View MoreIt's not a bad concept, it could have been pretty good, but – poorly plotted, poorly scripted, poorly acted. The lead is just chanting his lines, the only actor with any believability is the always amazing Jeremy Piven. Too many places where I groaned and thought "Oh no!" Every time he connects with a previous day, you see it coming - the jail scenes, for example. Pathetic. Too predictable, too unimaginative – I mean this guy is so obsessed with the girl - he never considers the other possibilities. If you knew you would be living the same day over and over until you found a way out, wouldn't you look for a way to profit? There's obviously no reason to hurry. Too made-for-TV. It focuses entirely on the love story, never on the philosophical and intellectual implications. A total let-down. Skip it.
... View MoreWonderful. Ecxellent. Better than "Groundhog Day" in all times. See it! Helen Slater makes an excellent job. If You see her, You'll love her for that Movie! She should have done more jobs than this one, I think. Not to forget Jonathan Silverman. I think he's really underestimated as an actor. Because he plays this role very - very - wonderful: more charisma isn't needed for this role! The Movie: Great, as I've said above. Watch it and enjoy it. Theme: Everything's gonna repeat, and only one person is able to stop it. Like "Groundhog Day", but much better, because the actors do not know what's going on. Like the ad "Live everyday as if it's were your last". So go and like it!
... View MoreDon't let the premise fool you into thinking this is a rehash of Bill Murray's movie - this is a GREAT little story unto itself. It's closer to Office Space & Back to the Future than to Groundhog Day.With a well-constructed plot & engaging characters, you can ignore the obvious writing & cinematography constraints of working on a TV budget. Watch for the pearls: Jeremy Piven & Marin Landau will sneak through with their organic performances if you're not paying attention. But everyone from the office dominatrix to the wiry assassin are well-developed; I even felt like "Mom" was part of the cast! So what IS the story about? A hard-working downtrodden everyday guy with a little tardiness problem. On the day that he FINALLY works up enough nerve to talk to the office cutie that he's had a crush on for longer than his mother can stand, she gets killed. And he has to watch it happen. ...again. And if he doesn't figure out what to say & do, he'll have to keep watching it. But the key is to figure out who ELSE is watching her, and why his interest in her has caused our hero to wake up Tuesday after Tuesday after Tuesday...12:01 is definitely worth watching again, and again, and again, and...
... View MoreHi, I think this is the film I have been looking for, for so long. I watched it on a German channel a few yrs ago and could not remember the name exactly...i have always searched for "12 o'clock" or "00:00".I was wondering if some one can tell me if this is the film that i think it is...I only remember the business man looking at the woman as she is buying red roses and then she gets shot by someone in a moving car??? I hope this is the film because i thought it was quite good and i would like to watch it again!!PLEASEHELP THANKS!!
