One More Time

My first review ever. Need to share my feelings!

If you liked (loved) Vinterviken. You'll like this one!

I'm turning 40 next year so the same age as the main character. My God! Nostalgia!!

This wasn't the best movie ever, but for me the best nostalgia ever!!

A combination of 13 going 30, Groundhog Day and Vinterviken. But Swedish. But from a small town.

I feel good afterwards. And happy of all the details of nostalgia!! The music, the clothes, the hair-extensions, the tummy bracelet, etc.

I also admire the producer for having actors in the exact age as supposed age. I think that is perfekt!

I felt I have to write a review, because after I watched the movie, I read the comments here, and I couldn't disseagree more with the reviews that says it's a terrible movie. Maybe this movie is not for everyone, but as a 28 years old woman, I could relate with her a lot, or at least with her 40 years old self. During the movie I was thinking about my past, about the people I spent time with, so I could reflect in my past self a lot. Also I loved to see the 80s-90s outfits here. It was a light movie, but with meanings- at least for me. I liked the ending too, you can't see a lot from the old movies, but it's deffinitelly could happen back there. This movie brozght me for me some time to think about myself again. So I really l recommend this movie for anybody :)

Just because the plot is to relive a significant day and as a result become a better person, does not put this Swedish movie in the same class with the incomparable Bill Murray. It doesn't even put it in the same school.

First the dubbing is dreadful. All the voices have rhe flat affect of dialog read off a script.

The second issue is the appearance of Amelia who is the same actor both as an 18 year old and a 40 year old. As a result, I was confused as the scenes shifted back and forth.

Third too much vapid giggling. That alone was enough to give it a reduced rating.

Fifth generally insipid acting and script. The ending was barely worth the time spent getting there.

I wouldn't have wasted my time but a NYTimes reviewer gushed over it.

Maybe if I was still 18, it would have appealed to me, but somehow I doubt it.

Just watched it on Netflix with a spare 90 minutes and really enjoyed it. Sure, it's a a Groundhog day retake, but then that itself wasn't original. Both stories are as old as time itself. But they at least call out the previous film as part of the plot.

It has a great message (look after your friends!) and is acted well by all involved, with great characters.

The only issue would be that Hedda Stiernstedt looks far too young to be 40. In fact when I watched the trailer I thought that she was playing Amelia's 18 year old version!

I'd call it a bit of light-hearted fun, definitely worthy of your time. And it did get me feeling like I should try to reconnect with some people from my past...

First, you need to know that this whole thing wraps up in a lesbian love story. Getting so tired of Netflix suggesting movies to me as "romance" but isn't what I am looking for. They need to have separate section for that. That being said this movie is objectively bad on its own.

The movie straight up rips off peggy sue got married / groundhog day. Amelia is 40 today. Her life is a mess. She works retail and is poor. Sitting at a bar after being fired from her retail job she runs into Fiona... a former childhood friend with the same birthday who is a successful rich singer. This leads Amelia to head to a time capsule both had buried when they were like 10 - where she is hit by a truck and ends up on her 18th birthday -- which forms a time loop she can't escape.

Amelia is a horrible person. Rude to her friends even as a mature adult. Not great to her parents. In fact when she realizes (after watching groundhog day) that she needs to be nicer to people... she does that for one day and that is it. The rest of the time she acts like an idiot.

Amelia finally gets out of the time loop after realizing Fiona was in love with her at 10. And she heads off to get right with that in present day. What? What? As if that is going to make everything wonderful? Huh? Of course Fiona has never given up on her 10 year old love and now they are all set.

This whole thing doesn't make a lick of sense.
