***A student at a Louisiana university has a hell of a birthday*** This mixes the slasher genre with a popular 1993 movie that I’m not going to name. You’ll know what it is by the second act. The flick even cites it in the last act, if there’s any doubt. Attractive Jessica Rothe was 29yo during shooting and barely passable as a college student. Nevertheless, she’s one of the film’s highlights, except that the script amusingly paints her in a negative light. Will she be the same person at the end as in the beginning? I’ll leave that for you to discover. Aside from a couple of perverse bits I could do without, the issue I have is that the flick won’t work on repeat viewings. After all, the nature of the story gets kind of tedious on the first viewing, let alone the second. Plus, what would there be to look forward to? Jessica and several witty moments, that’s about it, unless you’re an uber-fan of costar Israel Broussard. As for the key mystery that’s basically unanswered, the 2019 sequel addresses it, “Happy Death Day 2U.” It runs 1h 36m and was shot Nov-Dec 2016 at Loyola University in New Orleans with additional scenes filmed in Los Angeles (due to the filming permit at the colleg

Most of the other characters are far more secondary, so the burden falls on Rothe to bring life to a grounding role. As the lead, Tree needs to be intriguing enough for the audience to put up with the repetitive nature of the genre, but also pliable enough to allow her character to grow. Her relationship with Carter is particularly interesting because it has to both progress over the course of one day for Carter (who forgets everything as the day resets) and vary for Tree over the many different versions of the one day she lives through. Their relationship must be both a blank slate and feel as though the needle has moved forward at the end of each repeated day. Broussard and Rothe are able to sell it completely from the first time Tree wakes up confused in Carter’s bed.
Read the whole review on TMDB74/100 A sorority sister must relive the day of her death over and over again until she can figure out who's killing her and stop it from happening. I don't believe that this film would have been very successful if it wasn't for the super performance of Jessica Rothe as the victim in this black comedic tragedy. They present her as someone you should hate but you can't because she's just so damn likable. No excessive scares, violence, or gore, this film was just plain fun from start to finish. Great entertainment! -- DrNostromo.com
