Oh Netflix. I haven't seen a movie on Netflix since....I don't know, a while. Anyways, decided to go with this artsy drama about a guy who has insomnia due to a heartbreak. To kill time during his insomnia, he works overnight at a grocery store. Over time, he has the power in his head to freeze time. While there was some pretty cool moments on here, the story was a bit unoriginal. Of course, when you're broken hearted, you will find a moment where you let go. There are tons of movies out there like that. I mean, it's not easy letting go. But, we all know that we let go at some point. There is a scene on here that pisses me off. Our main guy has finally moved on. He is finally sleeping. Then, at a party, his ex-girlfriend shows up. She now wants him back. Big surprise. He's no longer interested. Where was she when he was crying and not able to sleep for weeks? She didn't care about that. The moment that pissed me off was that our main guy's new date saw the ex-girlfriend making a move on the guy but it looked like the guy was enjoying it (which he was not). His new date leaves the party. That happens a lot in movies. The grocery store scenes were okay.
You're not missing anything special with this movie. Other heartbreak/moving on movies to see that are a lot better: Swingers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and maybe Glory Daze, oh, 500 Days of Summer.
