Thank the movie gods for Harold Ramis.
It also uses its squirrely premise well enough to have its red-frosted cake and eat it too.
A supposedly mean one at that.
Not that she doesnt own it.
And they succeed a lot.
As a concept,Happy Death Dayis unapologetically derivative, and that works to its advantage.
And die she does.
There is even everyones favorite montage of the time-warping protagonist just giving up and enjoying the ride.
The script also gives its best shot at crafting someMean Girls/Heathersstyled one-liners for the sisters living on repeat.
Some are groaners, but that only adds to the movies affectation.
And once there, the film will scratch that itch again.
Rating:
3.5 out of 5
