Summary: A short similar in plot to "Groundhog Day", but more serious. A man is stuck living his life in the same 59 minute time frame. He tries various methods of finding out why, eventually consulting a physicist. (imdb)
Rather bland and generic, like something you might catch on television at.. umm.. 12:01 PM. Groundhog Day is no masterpiece, but it took the basic idea and attached a great script and characterization. Plus Bill Murray instead of some uninteresting bald man.
Never thought you could get so much movie in just 25 minutes. The story isn't necessarily original, but the idea of a time-loop is portrayed so well by Kurtwood Smith that it feels genuine and truly compelling. Comparison with Groundhog Day, another good movie, doesn't do it justice. The basic idea may be the same, but the pace and execution are very different.
I think the summary sums it up (AS SUMMARIES OFTEN DO). A more serious "Groundhog Day." I think the ending pretty much nails the hopelessness that the main character feels, and because of that it's really powerful.
An adult SF version of the same short story as used for basics of Groundhog Day. Where the full feature fails to try to be funny and entertaining, this is solid gold, serious and straight to the point. Very strong lead acted by Kurtwood Smith.
A brilliant short film about a man who seems to be the only one to realize his life is on an infinite loop. It obviously inspired Groundhog Day. Not to be confused with the 1993 TV film.
This is actually a pretty good time-travel flick, in the looping "Groundhog Day" kind of way, but played as straight sci-fi with some comedic elements, as opposed to a comedy with sci-fi elements. I'm not a Jonathan Silverman fan by any means of the imagination, but he's actually a fairly good casting decision, along with everyone else. Worth a watch.
The basis for Groundhog Day, with more science fiction and less comedy. Although it's more serious, the conclusion doesn't feel as final as Groundhog Day. However, they both have their strengths.
