Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe bar they go to is supposed to be in Tribeca, but then they show it is located on West 44th Street, which is generally Hell's Kitchen (depending on the avenue), nowhere close to Tribeca.
- GoofsStan and Joanna are celebrating their 36th anniversary of the day they first met back in 1986. However, due to December 13th falling on a Wednesday and it being celebrated as the 7th night of Hanukkah, the present day of this movie takes place in 2023, which would make it their 37th anniversary.
Also, for the nights of Hanukkah during their "meet cute" and present day anniversary to both take place between December 7 to 15, they would have had to meet in 1985, not 1986.

Featured review
I wasn't sure I was going to like this one, but found myself pleasantly surprised.
This was unexpectedly funny and an enjoyable story. Amidst the seventh night of Hanukkah celebration, Rachel meets Zach...twice. The first time he bumps into her racing for the train and ruins the jelly donuts from Goldberg's, the second time it's an introduction by her Grandma Rosie. Amidst all the nerd jokes and the Groundhog Day theme, there is actually a decent romance...set to a great 1980's soundtrack.
The parents have a great origin story, but this is really all about Rachel and Zack...and a little about Grandma Rosie. The supporting characters were fun and the only actor that seemed a bit miscast or awkward was Bex.
I also really appreciated the train stop busker who played both Christmas and Hanukkah songs, as well as the art exhibition at the senior center that had both Christmas and Hanukkah art displayed.
I think if you have a sense of humor, like romance, and appreciate Hanukkah...you might like round and round.
