Funny but shallow

The basic idea, although an old one, works rather well and is a nice and funny approach. The whole idea of discussing how to "adapt" to this destiny by the different characters play well and gives some funny but also interesting moments.

However, the plot turns more and more into a romantic comedy. This doesn´t have to be a bad thing, but in this case, it is. Mainly, the movie doesn´t even give it´s story the time it would need to depict the process of falling in love and negotiating what love can be basedon in this scenario.

So one is asked to stop thinking about actually interesting questions and just follow the characters to a rather simple happy ending. Which is - by the way - rather stupid, since it makes no sense that they could realize there exit of the loop in the neighbours pool. Thats a pity, since the film had way more potential.

Nonetheless, its still a fun thing to watch.
