If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An ingenius play on horror tropes and concepts 'Happy Death Day' was a pleasant surprise of a film. Relatively quick the film is handily split into what's essentially segments as we follow our protagonists investigation of her murder which until it's resolved occurs nightly. The editing and structure are brilliant and it's good to see the main character develop and find her feet around what's a mostly unlike able but completely fine cast, the resolution to the story is satisfying even if the twist is a little less so than what could've been. Still it's a good little film and another success for production company Blumhouse, worth a watch

Was pleasantly surprised with this film.
Nothing amazing happens but that's exactly the point.
Was an easy predictable watch but kept even the wife and I entertained.

This movie is just bad.Can't say I was expecting much, admittedly. The cringeworthy trailers and bad press it has been receiving led me to believe that it would be a less than exhilierating cinematic experience, but I figured I would give the movie a go nevertheless.My first complaint would be that the idea has been done to death. The whole 'Groundhog Day' routine has become stale. This movie doesn't present enough of an interesting plot line or characters to warrant me sitting through the same scenario multiple times. Without risking spoilers I would like to just warn everyone not to get their hopes up about the "reveal". It is painfully delivered and possibly one of the weakest excuses for a plot twist I have ever seen.When evaluating this as a part of the horror genre... well... it doesn't belong to the genre even remotely. Any violence or gore is shyed away from each time the protagonist is killed because it instantly cuts to her waking up. I'm not saying blood and guts are necessary to a horror film (see It Follows) but I was at no point in this movie even remotely spooked in the slightest.In terms of redeeming qualities, I felt that the acting was adequate, given the poor script the actors were left to deal with. There were some details that I enjoyed about the film, for example the admittedly witty sticker on the door of the room the protagonist finds herself waking up in repeatedly. But aside from these minor things, this movie really doesn't deliver in any way. Poor.

This is really easy, simple, but not stupid, really nice movie with excellent humor. At last really good humor in 2018! Maybe I'm affected by bad movies around, but there was a feeling that I returned to the kind, soulful comedies of the 1990s and 2000s. This film can't be designated a specific genre. If the writers added more story twist, it would be generally excellent. But anyway, it's a kind and positive movie that I already want to revise.
