Just because the plot is to relive a significant day and as a result become a better person, does not put this Swedish movie in the same class with the incomparable Bill Murray. It doesn't even put it in the same school.
First the dubbing is dreadful. All the voices have rhe flat affect of dialog read off a script.
The second issue is the appearance of Amelia who is the same actor both as an 18 year old and a 40 year old. As a result, I was confused as the scenes shifted back and forth.
Third too much vapid giggling. That alone was enough to give it a reduced rating.
Fifth generally insipid acting and script. The ending was barely worth the time spent getting there.
I wouldn't have wasted my time but a NYTimes reviewer gushed over it.
Maybe if I was still 18, it would have appealed to me, but somehow I doubt it.
