Not good, but not bad

As a timeloop movie fan, i found this in netflix and thought id give it a go.I may be the only one who was emphatizing the main character as somehow i felt what he did. But my main reason why the rating is only 6/10 is because he seemed that he wasnt interested at the things that had happened in the previous year at all.It is not so well executed movie, but the story behind it is great. I think all of that 1 hour and 40 could have been used better. It is a decent movie, but personally i would not watch it again.As a timeloop movie, ive seen many others that have better plot and execution than this one.

Combination of "Christmas Carol" and "Click"

It's another attempt at the Christmas classic: a magical "guide" tries to guide our protagonist through the "real meaning" of Christmas Eve. The added detail that the protagonist's birthday is also Christmas Eve serves as both a marker that he's still stuck in the loop, (except it's not a loop), and as a gripe that people forget his birthday. It's a bit hard to follow until the 2nd or 3rd time, that he's not in a loop, but simply skips to next year's Christmas Eve, then next year's, and so on, getting to assess the damage his attitude causes only on the holiday.It has all the holiday movie clichés, with updates for modern audiences, like the strong LGBT message from the "fairy godfather".Some characters that deserve better exposition, like his immediate family, don't get it. The movie tries to have too many things going on, so it's hard to focus on any of them. Instead of enhancing the comedy and Christmas spirit, it really only ends up showcasing the routine message of "seize the day", and the in-your-face LGBT agenda. Everything else gets slback seat to these two themes. Nevertheless, good stepping stone for a remake, and hopefully the next country's version gets it right.
