Premature review – predictably crude, juvenile and genuinely funny

This teen-skewed American comedy unabashedly rips off the core magical conceit from Groundhog Day to tell the story of a high-school senior caught in an endlessly repeating day. The twist is that the cycle resets back to the morning every time hormonally supercharged virgin protagonist Rob ejaculates prematurely because, ha ha, sexual embarrassment is funny. Yes, it’s predictably crude and juvenile, but in between the bodily secretion gags there’s dialogue and performances that are genuinely funny.
