    • Trivia
      During one of his jumps forward, Teddy remarks on how Leanne hasn't aged, asking if she's got a portrait up in the attic. This is a reference to Oscar Wilde's 1890 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, in which a man sells his soul so that his portrait will age while he remains young.

    Rom com meets Groundhog Day
    Not my genre usually but after several glasses of wine I actually enjoyed it.

    The acting was excellent, the story was good and kept me entertained even if you could second guess what the next scene was likely to be.

    It was entertaining, don't try to analyze it too much.
