This movie was well-written, well-cast, and well-acted. The time loop results were substantially different. The humor was well-placed, including the "nerd" humor.

What makes the movie all the more fun is that it doesn't rely on a love triangle for its payoff. Plus, the viewer doesn't need to know anything about Hannukah to enjoy it.

The only downside is that the movie has commercials and runs two hours. This could easily have been a feature film with a runtime of 110-120 minutes.

The explanation of the time loops and who it came from was unexpected, which I found refreshing.

I want to see more from this writer, and I'd like to see Vic Michaelis (the story's protagonist) in more movies.

Abigal goes to a coffee shop, which has a sign: be back in 10 minutes. She asks Bo, who's hanging decorations or some such. A normal person would've said, "She'll be back any moment." Instead, Bo gives Abby grief with multiple evasions to this simple question.

In short, he acts like a grade-A jerk for absolutely no reason. In real life, she'd told him he's a jerk (or a more descriptive term) and absolutely useless. Then, she would've walked (driven) away, probably providing a single-digit salute.

I can't imagine why she ignored his jerkiness and became friends, let alone fall for him.

When they can't reach a decision on the house they inherited, she should've consulted a lawyer and forced the issue.

Most Hallmark movies require a healthy suspense of disbelief--this one is a bridge too far.
