Premature (2014)
2/10
Unoriginal and unfunny
15 September 2022
The central idea has been recycled a lot times before this flick, starting from comedy classic "Groundhog Day". Still, I can understand a teenage B-movie being unoriginal, but what this movie's screenwriters don't seem to comprehend is that it's extremely hard to create something funny with the time loop idea, as one must have wit to turn the whole notion of comedy on its head, by making repetition funny, instead of surprise.

This unoriginality would be mostly forgivable, though, if the jokes were funny. But since the entire movie is based on sex, what was mildly entertaining at the beginning becomes stale very quickly. Ultimately, the film tries to come up with a moral lesson, which comes across as extremely disingenuous after an hour and a half of crass jokes.

With passable acting, a cliché concept and unfunny jokes, there is really nothing that can save this movie.
