Love on Repeat (2019 TV Movie)
3/10
Very disappointing

I usually love these kind of time loop movies. Jen Lilley is also usually a very good actress who can pull off a decent performance even with a mediocre script. This is not one of those times. Most of the supporting characters were completely one dimensional and unlikable. Andrew Lawrence was decent but there was not very much chemistry between him and Jen Lilley. However, to their credit, I think the script didn't give them that opportunity. The most disappointing part of the movie was the performance of Jonathan Bennett. It was like he was playing a cardboard cut-out. No one can be that stupid. No one who is working in marketing is that stupid. They made his character seem mentally challenged. No one watching this film would understand why Jen Lilley's character would even like him. Perhaps if they hadn't dated before, but she used to date him so clearly knows how stupid he is. It was completely illogical that she would want to be with him but not in that romantic comedy kind of way. Rather, there is no possibility it would actually happen. The character of Bob was also ridiculous and one dimensional. I think the character played by Kassandra Clementi was the only other character with more than superficial depth and even then, you only see it near the end of the film. Overall, I think I would rather have just read a summary of the movie, then have watched it.
