Quite a nice unpretentious film; don't expect any surprising twists, no unusual ending; no heart-rending situations because of the repetitive day; just the fact of the day repeating itself is used intensely to create funny situations. I don't know if teenagers in America talk about sex so obsessively and frequently, but compared to the youth here in Belgium, it seems to me that it is exaggerated. For those who wrongly compare this film to American Pie, there is no naked breast in it.
I have to admit that this movie at times made me chuckle. John Karna is not a stunner but he's definitely funny in a stoic way, the dialogues were spicy and the script provided some really funny situations and characters. But the story was pretty shaky, it stayed for instance totally vague what caused the continually recurring day (in spite of some reference to a curse in the end, which came rather out of the blue and didn't really make sense), as did the way it worked (orgasms did the Groundhog trick, but strangely also a kick in the groin?!), and the way it came to an end (yet another orgasm, so what was so different?!).
To be honest: a movie that is entirely based on a teenagers ejaculations seems a bit like the rock bottom of tackiness. Poignantly illustrated by seeing John Karma multiple times lying on his bed with a big wet blotch on the front of his shorts. So I'm slightly embarrassed that in spite of that I still was entertained. Humbly I plead guilty.

This movie will definitely make you feel good. It is stuffed with comedy and most of them is very funny.
They didnt go overboard with the comedy which i find is a plus point.
The direction and screenplay is nothing special.
The cast is good. Everyone was perfect and except for the female lead but she is too cute to be replaced.
The story is the star here. The concept is amazing. A little tweak and this would have been much better
Overall above average
This "Groundhog Day" movie with a perverted twist was actually a funny movie, even though it was intended for a young adult audience. But for a college comedy then "Premature" was actually a nice take on the genre.
The story is about teenager Rob who is reliving the same day over and over. Struggling to figure out what is going on, Rob tries to change events in order to escape the repetitive day.
There is a lot of hilarious situations and moments throughout the movie, and you will find yourself laughing, I guarantee. The absurdity and extreme things that happen are what makes this movie work so well.
The acting in "Premature" was good, and lead actor John Karna carried the movie quite nicely. And it was a treat to see Alan Tudyk in the movie as well.
"Premature" was a nice surprise of a comedy and it is quite worth watching, especially if you enjoy the teenage comedy genre.

Premature is a 2014 film directed by Dan Beers, with great performance by Alan Tudyk as supporting actor and with Katie Findlay, a young, charismatic Canadian actress that I've see previously in the movie The Philosophers, 2014, sharing starring roles with John Karna. The Welsh and talented Craig Roberts also appears in a supporting role. The movie is very acceptable, it is a much better movie, in my humble opinion than The Breakfast Club or Karate Kid if we want to talk about coming of age movies, It is not La vie d'Adele obviously because this a comedy, but an entertaining one. The premise of the movie, unfortunately, is an absolute copy cat of the enormous classic "Groundhog Day". A day that repeats itself mysteriously, for a virgin teenager in this case who is struggling to have his life back to normal and trying in the process to lose his virginity. Recommendable
