    GroundWHAT Day???

    Don't let the premise fool you into thinking this is a rehash of Bill Murray's movie - this is a GREAT little story unto itself. It's closer to Office Space & Back to the Future than to Groundhog Day.

    With a well-constructed plot & engaging characters, you can ignore the obvious writing & cinematography constraints of working on a TV budget. Watch for the pearls: Jeremy Piven & Marin Landau will sneak through with their organic performances if you're not paying attention. But everyone from the office dominatrix to the wiry assassin are well-developed; I even felt like "Mom" was part of the cast! So what IS the story about? A hard-working downtrodden everyday guy with a little tardiness problem. On the day that he FINALLY works up enough nerve to talk to the office cutie that he's had a crush on for longer than his mother can stand, she gets killed. And he has to watch it happen. ...again. And if he doesn't figure out what to say & do, he'll have to keep watching it. But the key is to figure out who ELSE is watching her, and why his interest in her has caused our hero to wake up Tuesday after Tuesday after Tuesday...

    12:01 is definitely worth watching again, and again, and again, and...

    Here we go loopty loop

    This is a made-for-TV movie with all the earmarks of Hallmark. It is not cheesy, just low budget with actors that cross over between television and movies. Who can forget Martin Landau in Cosmos 1999 (1975) ?

    See the original story in the book "Before...12:01...and After" by Richard Allen Lupoff (Author), George Barr (Illustrator) ISBN-13: 978-1878252234

    You know the story before it starts. Time loop stories have been presented long before this and many after. However, if you missed this one you have missed a rather good presentation with a time loop story that doesn't try to be too cutesy or too heavy.

    Slob and sluff off Barry Thomas (Jonathan Silverman), finds himself the victim of time loop technology that is gone awry. At first, he finds this quite annoying. Soon he realizes he has a second chance to save the life of the one that he loves from afar, Lisa Fredericks (Helen Slater.)

    The film is noticeably short; so, will he find time to grow a social consciousness get close to the girl find and fix the problem and so forth? Or is he destined to repeat his slovenly ways over the same day forever and ever and ever?

    No 'Groundhog Day,' But It's Not Bad

    This isn't as good as "Groundhog Day," but it's not bad. I compare it to that film because a similar storyline with each day repeating itself. The main difference in this story is that it's a crime story in addition to the romance, and it doesn't have the likable lead characters the much more famous Groundhog Day had. Here, we get Jonathan Silverman, not exactly Bill Murray. Helen Slater, meanwhile, should have terminated her career after Supergirl. The movie also could have used a little better humor.

    Despite all these negatives there is something appealing about the film. Maybe it's just the interesting premise that once it hooks you in, has you to stay just so you can see if the hero is going to make everything right. For that, it gets five points but only a point for the rest. Still, if you see it on TV, check it out.

    The only reason I'm writing this review is because...

    ...out of all the good reviews from people that liked this film, a crummy review was displaying on the main page.

    This movie stuck with me, and every time I watch it I enjoy it all the more. As with Groundhog Day, I enjoy watching this movie over and over. But they are two different movies, altogether.

    I must say (without spoiling) that the scene in the office where Jonathan Silverman tells Slater how he feels about her is one of the most touching, romantic, well-played scenes I have ever seen.

    I thought the underplayed comedy was great and perfect for Silverman's abilities, and as for Slater and her performance, all I can say is: YUMMY!

    I watched it over, and, over, and, over....

    I put a tape in the video machine one night to record this unknown film called "12:01" - the synopsis in the TV guide seemed interesting. I kept that tape for months, watching it over and over, just to see the subtle changes in each day being lived again. Brilliant.

    Everybody seems to rave about how "original" Groundhog Day was/is but I saw "12:01" on UK TV well before Groundhog Day even hit the cinemas over here. "12:01" may have been a low-budget TVM and may have its flaws but the concept of the day after day scenario is just as good.

    The sad thing is that I actually logged on tonight to order both "12:01" and Groundhog Day but I can't find a UK supplier of "12:01" and it would be such a shame if it were never seen again.

    • Trivia
      When Barry checks the department directory to find Lisa's office number, three of the first four names listed are members of the film's Art Department crew: lead person Gene Bishop, on-set dresser David S. Bridson, and assistant property master Ashley Davies.
    • Goofs
      About 27 minutes into the movie, we see a shot of a newspaper article bearing the headline "TIME BOUNCE THEORY POSSIBLE THREAT", sub-headed "Scientists Predict Experiment Could Cause Time to Repeat". The shot is clear enough that we can clearly read the main article text, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the headers or with anything happening in the movie. The article text simply consists of the following bit of text repeated over and over again: "For a new practice complete a documentary on Los Angeles dance pioneer Lester Horton, one of his former company members is searching for archival footage as well as presenting a dance performance as a fund-raising benefit. As the new times"

      [Lisa and Barry are just meeting, and he is badly fumbling the conversation]

      Lisa Fredericks: [amused] Where are you usually locked up?

      Barry Thomas: Oh, I'm just an experiment gone horribly awry in the Personnel Department.

      Lisa Fredericks: I see. I'm Lisa Fredericks.

      Barry Thomas: I'm Barry Thomas.

      Lisa Fredericks: [not sure how to take him] What is it that you do?

      Barry Thomas: Oh, nothing. I just sort of boost morale in between threats of being fired.

      Lisa Fredericks: Ah. Well, you seem to have a mind. That doesn't usually fit in this system. Nice to meet you.

      [She turns away dismissively]
