    • Trivia
      According to director Christopher Landon, Tree Gelbman's punchline, "Who takes their first date to Subway? It's not like you have a foot-long," was improvised by Jessica Rothe.
    • Goofs
      After Tree and Danielle are accidentally run over by a bus, Tree removes her from the suspect list. Since the bus driver was clearly not the murderer, it did not prove that Danielle is not the murderer.
    • Quotes

      Tree Gelbman: Tim, I know you're really not into girls. But it's okay. Love is love. Now go out there and get yourself a fine piece of man-ass!

    • Crazy credits
      The opening Universal logo gets abruptly sucked into oblivion and then restarts, referencing the film's time loop element. This happens twice before the logo finally plays uninterrupted.

    Happy Death Day: Enjoyable stuff
    I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw the teaser trailer, sadly it's taken me this long to get around to it.

    So did it live up to expectations? Not entirely, but I walked away happy regardless.

    For those unaware it's Groundhog Day (1993) with murder as we see a girl repeatedly being killed off only to start to day anew. Personally I loved this idea and was curious with where they were going to go with it.

    The traditional slasher tropes are all present, some great dark humor is in the script and the cast are all on point. Notable especially is our leading lady Jessica Rothe who was excellent though I spent half the movie baffled by just how much she looks like Melissa Benoist.

    I'm not sure the finale was up to the same quality as the rest of the film and that is perhaps why it's receiving a 7 not an 8. Something about it just felt inferior and saw the movie go out with a bit of a fizzle.

    Regardless I can see why the film was so successful, congratulations to everyone involved because though I didn't find it as mind blowing as I'd hoped I can't deny that this is a very inventive fun little film.

    The Good:

    Jessica Rothe

    Cast are all great

    Fantastic concept

    Some great ideas

    The Bad:

    Weak soundtrack for a movie of this ilk

    Finale was underwhelming

    Hearing the same dialogue repeatedly can get frustrating

    FAQ2

    • How could Tree get Carter's reference to Janis Joplin, but not to Groundhog Day or Bill Murray?
