After spending a night with the girl of his dreams only to become just friends, a man gets the opportunity to travel through time via a magic photo booth and alter that night over and over again until he gets everything perfect....
Sounds like Big crossed with Groundhog Day, but this little film isn't as bad as you'd expect. Ive never been a fan of Adam Devine, he has a punchable screen presence, but here, he really dials it down, and it's to his credit.
It's nothing more than a high concept time travel film, but this has a very neat twist that really complimented the film, and made it all the more enjoyable to watch.
The cast are great, and from a room-com point of view, all the characters that are your usual cliches, are quite endearing here, and never overused.
Each situation Devine gets into makes him appear more insane or more unlikable to the other characters at some point, but as the film progresses, you can see what the film makers are doing, and it unfolds nicely before your eyes, in a very bittersweet way.
It's not laugh out loud funny, it it does raise a few smiles, and although its repetitive due to the narration of the film, it Alabama feels fresh.
So all in all it's a really nice little comedy that never outstays its welcome, but you'll never want to watch it again.
