Great casting! Why are people so hard on these types of movies?


"It's real good but highly illegal". Just one of the many funny lines and cleverly put together dialogue that you get out of this movie. I'm sorry this is in a higher level of product than American Pie or the likes. The casting was spot on and don't think you could make this any better with higher paid actors or just "names".

People need to stop being as pretentious when it comes to your formulaic low brow comedies. This is a refreshing addition to the genre and an enjoyable watch.

Hard--is that a pun?? It's a jerk-off movie about a jerk-off--what could be funny??

I love little comedies like this. They're pretty forgettable, and are a dime a dozen, but still fantastic fun from beginning to end. I think people are hard on these types of movies because there are so many of them, to the point where people give up and chastise anything that falls within the raunchy comedy genre. If the film had had a few stars of a major studio backing it, like American Pie, it would probably not be received as badly but taken at face value it does not offer the general moviegoing public anything of value so it's instantly dismissed.

Personally, I was browsing Netflix and saw the synopsis they gave it. "Caught in an ejaculation time warp, randy teenager Rob must find a way to quell his desires to avoid repeating the same humiliating day over and over." Obviously it sounds super cheesy and an obvious ripoff of Groundhog Day, but I wasn't going to pass up watching something that began with "Caught in an ejaculation time warp". I was pleasantly surprised.

I thought the casting was good. no big names but thats to be expected of an indy film. i think people are hard on them because they expect them to be so much more and forget to just take them for what they are which is fun!

Higher level of product?

IT was right there that everyone stopped taking your seriously.

Because the laughs were too few. Should have been much better

I didn't really know what to expect from this one - I had a suspicion it'd go for full gross-out visual comedy given the core premise and while it does have a brief dip into that territory, it's not done to ridiculous excess.

Nowhere near what I'd consider a bad film but not exactly a fantastic comedy either. Watching it, I got the feeling that it might've worked better as a pay cable series than a film.

A shame that the writers missed an opportunity to inject a little variety to the time rewind gimmick in the form of having Gabrielle being the only other person aware of the rewinds but keeping silent about them until she and Rob finally got together.
