Round and Round (2023)

Directed By: Stacey N Harding

Written By: Tamar Laddy

Rachel’s stuck in a time loop, reliving the night of her parents’ Hanukkah party. Can Zach, the “nice boy” Grandma’s trying to set her up with, help her make it to tomorrow? Starring Vic Michaelis, Bryan Greenberg and Rick Hoffman.

As a nerd, I always enjoy some nerd representation, and this movie has it in spades. There’s snappy dialogue and pop culture references galore. I loved Rachel’s family, her happily married and mismatched parents, her “British” cousin, her kooky grandmother, and her pregnant sister and wife, all of them were such fun characters. Who wouldn’t want to be invited to that seventh night party? When Rachel gets to see Brian’s world, I loved the comic book store setting, too.

Favorite Quote: I’m Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, you’re the alarm clock.

Favorite Kiss: I was so glad that Brian was able to experience the seven time loops through some dreidel magic. He needed to know how much of a connection they’d shared.
