This one bears *repeating*...
Even though I included the movie, Love on Repeat, in my weekend movie post for it's Monday TV premiere, I thought it might be best to *REPEAT* it, since this is the launch of the Monday Night Movies on Great American Family from the Pure Flix streaming library!
Love on Repeat stars Jen Lilley and Andrew Lawrence in this romantic-comedy, which has been described as charming, family-friendly, and easy-going.
Storyline: Amber's (Jen Lilley) life is less than ideal. Recently split from the "perfect boyfriend," Amber is floundering, her on-the-job performance uninspired. When Amber starts re-living the same day over and over again, she realizes she is stuck in limbo and must finally decide what it will take to make her truly happy.
My thoughts...
I know. I know. Some people don't love the whole movie fantasy of re-living the same day over and over again until the lead character gets it right.
Mostly, everyone thinks of the movie, Groundhog Day, when they think of this movie scenario, but for me, I think of some special Christmas movies, which may be unknown to some... Christmas Everyday (starring Erik Von Detten, which first aired in 1996 on the ABC Family channel), Pete's Christmas (starring Zachary Gordon and Bailee Madison, which aired on the Hallmark Channel in 2013 and kind of disappeared after that), and 12 Dates of Christmas (another film from ABC Family; this one stars Amy Smart and Mark-Paul Gosselaar; it premiered in 2011).
However, even though I think those *repeat the day* movies are fun, there are some movies with that basic storyline that drive me bonkers, like Hallmark's rom-com, I Do, I Do, I Do. Even though I love the lead actors, Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo in Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, I don't, I don't, (yes, it bears repeating three times) I don't like the movie, I Do, I Do, I Do.
Please note: While I have seen bits and pieces of the movie, Love on Repeat, I have not watched the entire film, yet. If you've seen it and would like to share a review, please do so in comments below.
Also, there are streaming options for Love on Repeat at Amazon, Pure Flix, Tubi, Plex, etc...
