I fell asleep two times trying to watch this. Took about 5 hours to get through the whole thing. The main lead lacks debt in his acting and the storyline is poor.

I started to see this movie because of the consequences of boredom and I ended up liking it a lot. The performance of Marlon Wayans and everyone else has very good performances including unaccredited roles in the film. It's a comedy, so do not expect clever drama far from it, but I like its history and managed to captivate my attention to the end. If you want to laugh for a while, try to watch it.

So for starters...it needs not be said (though everyone else said it)...its a groundhog day ripoff. However, I liked the concept...it was just different enough and there were so many aspects that were (despite the nakedness) wholesome. However I felt like the movie about half way through started getting extremely boring...somehow it needed to be sped up a bit. Now I will add that in an age where race is jammed down our throats at every turn...I did find it a bit racist that of the only 5 white characters, two were bad guys and one was a hooker (albeit a nice hooker?). Then in an age where hands up don't shoot is the mantra, the only good white guys were the cops...but I can't help but feel there was a gay undertone to them...so I guess thats how they got away with having "good white cops." Anyway the movie showed promise in the beginning and I actually liked the ending...but I had to skip 20 minutes or so to get to the ending as I was dying I was so bored with the middle.

As many of you might have figured out, this is a remake. Though it's not a remake of Groundhog Day, as many seem to think. It's actually a Swedish flick from 2000 by the same name.It's not a remake in the traditional sense though, they only took the basic premise. A man wakes up naked in an elevator on the morning of his wedding day, no clue how he got there, where his clothes are or how he is supposed to save his wedding, especially since it's already started.Aside from that, almost everything is different from the original. They give a few nods here and there, like letting a lottery ticket play a big role, but they use those nods to do something different with it.They also made it a lot more family friendly. In Sweden, especially before online streaming, you could afford to not care about the rating as the audience is much smaller either way, but obviously they had to aim for a PG-13 to get back the huge amount of cash spent on the film.And it shows that they put the big bucks in. The acting is stellar and the direction is spot on, doing what few films have managed to do for me in the past decade or so: have me glued to the screen and forget it was a film.Whether you've seen the original or not, this film is a blast to watch.
