Happy Death Day
Starring: Jessica Rothe
Rated PG-13
A
teenage girl, trying to enjoy her birthday, soon realizes that this
is her final one. That is, if she can figure out who her killer is.
She must relive that day, over and over again, dying in a different way each time.
Can she solve her own murder?
The film is at its best when the lead
character “Tree,” played by Jessica Rothe, is uncaring and
unsympathetic to her fellow students. But when the story turns
sentimental, the film loses it's edge.
Earlier this year the film “Before I Fall” used this plot devise but was pretty much humorless in its execution.
“Happy Death Day” finds a balance between thrills and humor, but doesn't maintain its equilibrium for very long.

“Happy Death Day” is a mostly a
watchable film but it will not make you forget “Groundhog's Day”
nor will it stick in your mind longer than the walk to the parking
lot.
It gets a C and is rated
PG-13.
