Best movie of this year hands down!

Very Cool!!!

Thanks for the memories!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There are many reviews telling you everything that is good (or bad) about this movie. All I want to say is that I first see this movie more than 15 years ago. Since that moment, periodically I wanted to see it again but in the meantime I forgot its name. I finally found it and bought the DVD. The main reason I wanted to see it again was that this was in my opinion the funniest comedy I ever saw but not only. Although I like very much Groundhog Day movie, they are 2 completely different movies. I would strongly recommend to anyone to see this movie and as many said, you may realize that this movie will stay in your mind for a long time without realizing exactly why.

Whatever happened to Joanathan Slverman? He made some mildly entertaining movies for cable in the 1990s and then. ... Well, anyhow, here he is in a reasonably decent knockoff of GROUNDHOG DAY, only this one involves murder and a faulty particle accelerator that could spell doom. Silverman plays a mild mannered office worker who falls for a curvy scientist played by Helen Slater. (Get in line, Jonathan.) Problem is, he no sooner meets her when she's shot dead. And he wakes up the next morning to find it's the same day all over again. He tries to save her but fails. On the third day, he starts to get smart. She of course finds it hard to believe they are in a time loop, since she doesn't recall any of the things he does. The movie is actually lighthearted and lively, thanks to Silvermaa and Slater and a script that doesn't take itself too seriously. Jeremy Piven has a supporting role as Silverman's wisecracking office buddy, and Martin Landau plays an obsessed scientist. 12:01 is breezy and easy to take, if a little too much like GROUNDHOG DAY.

I can't really express in writing just how extremely happy I am that 12:01 is finally out on DVD. It's been on my wish list since the DVD format was invented. The only copy I had was on the VHS that I had recorded off the air (with commercials (:(( on FOX-TV in 1993 and watched over and over and over, not unlike Barry's day repeating. As others have noted, the always beautiful Helen (Supergirl) Slater positively glows in this film. In the lead role, Jonathan Silverman excels as the discouraged office worker who witnesses his only real love being murdered in broad daylight, then being given the chance to undo it, while being thwarted at every turn.As a fan of all time-warp stories, I count this as my favorite. Had it been released in the theater, it would have done very well indeed. It is good for all ages to see the the lengths that the hero of the story goes to in his desperate attempt to save the lady that he loves from afar. Ten stars out of ten and two thumbs up from me.Run, don't walk, to get this exceptional movie while it's available!

...out of all the good reviews from people that liked this film, a crummy review was displaying on the main page.This movie stuck with me, and every time I watch it I enjoy it all the more. As with Groundhog Day, I enjoy watching this movie over and over. But they are two different movies, altogether.I must say (without spoiling) that the scene in the office where Jonathan Silverman tells Slater how he feels about her is one of the most touching, romantic, well-played scenes I have ever seen.I thought the underplayed comedy was great and perfect for Silverman's abilities, and as for Slater and her performance, all I can say is: YUMMY!
