Watched this movies late at night on Netflix with low expectations when I realised it was going to be an American High School Groundhog Day without the laughs. Don't turn off the movie after 30 mins and you might get a pleasant surprise. Far better than I hoped for.

Samantha Kingston (Zoey Deutch) and her friends led by Lindsay Edgecomb (Halston Sage) are the mean girls of the school. It's Cupid Day and the girls get roses from their admirers. Everybody assumes that Sam is losing her virginity to her boyfriend Rob that night at the party. The girls pick on the outsiders especially loner Juliet Sykes. At the party, Juliet crashes the party to confront Lindsay. The girls leave and Lindsay crashes the car. Sam wakes up and relives the day all over again.

The concept is perfectly fine. The saturation of blue subdues the intensity. Zoey and Halston are fine for their roles. After an early reveal, it is obvious that Sam needs to talk to Juliet. The movie flattens as that moment takes a long time to arrive. The pace grinds down. An obvious way to add filler to the middle is for Sam to take a road trip. Juliet is the obvious ending although the ending is too precious. It screams trying too hard. Overall, there are worst YA fictions. This is not bad for the genre.
