_Donnie Darko Lite™_ by way of _Groundhog Day_. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

**Not about a second chance, but infinite!** Even if you are not that into the films, you probably have seen at least a couple film related to 'time loop'. For me, this is like hundredth. When I first saw the trailer, I said 'not again'....
