As he gains empathy for them and their concerns, he gains understanding for Margaret. Here the stakes of the film, directed by Ira Samuels from a screenplay by Lev Grossman, grow in magnitude, and Mark begins to slowly mature as a character, similarly to how Bill Murray’s does in “Groundhog’s Day.”Īfter a falling out with Margaret, Mark begins to relate to his sister, father, and mother more than in the past. Mark automatically assumes Margaret is meeting a boyfriend each evening, but that’s hardly the case. The good feeling begins to sour when Margaret has to leave Mark at a certain time each day, and when she begins to rebuff his advances to take their relationship beyond mere friendship. However, when a movie reminds you of so many other better films, it draws you out of the experience rather than into it. The film has a “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” feel to it that is charming. The two youngish actors have fine chemistry together, and it’s fun to go along for the ride with them as they take advantage of knowing exactly what is going to happen in any given second of their day, and how to take advantage of or help with those circumstances. That said the film does present some rather inventive and funny escapades for main characters Margaret (Kathryn Newton) and Mark (Kyle Allen) to explore while they deal with re-living the same day over and over again.
