BEFORE I FALL<\/strong>
\nOpen Road Films<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Showbiz<\/strong>
\nGrade: B<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Russo-Young<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Maria Maggenti based on Lauren Oliver\u2019s novel<\/strong>
\nCast: Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, Logan Miller, Kian Lawley, Elena Kampouris<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 1, NYC, 3\/1\/17<\/strong>
\nOpens: March 3, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some say that if you had your life to do over, you would make the same mistakes.\u00a0 Russo-Young who directs \u201cBefore I Fall\u201d using Maria Maggenti\u2019s screenplay based on Lauren Oliver\u2019s novel does not exactly beg to differ.\u00a0 But we get the impression that you can change some things within days, and you don\u2019t have to be reborn.\u00a0\u00a0 The catch is that you have to be aware that you will die imminently.\u00a0 With that knowledge, though, even if you\u2019re an immature 17-year-old high school student, you can do your bit to become a better person, much like the condemned man who confesses on the day of his execution that he indeed did the crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I Fall<\/strong>,\u201d which could have been named \u201cBefore I Die,\u201d is of special interest to a high-school audience.\u00a0 Callow youths may learn something from it that could change their lives even if they are lucky enough to have several decades ahead of them.\u00a0 The major flaw in the project is that it plagiarizes or expropriates the clever theme of Harold Ramis\u2019s 1993 film \u201cGroundhog day,\u201d in which Bill Murray plays a weatherman who relives one day over and over and over until he gets his life right.<\/p>\n

The focus now is on Samantha Kingston (Zoey Deutch), played by an actress who is twenty-two years old and has had roles in movies you don\u2019t want to brag about such as \u201cDirty Grandpa\u201d and \u201cWhy Him?\u201d\u00a0 She is best friends with a trio of fellow students, the particularly mean Lindsay (Halston Sage<\/strong>), the doll-like Allison (Cynthy Wu<\/strong>),and\u00a0 Elody (Medalion Rahimi<\/strong>).\u00a0 She lives in a luxurious home in the Pacific Northwest (filmed as though a tourist brochure in Vancouver and Squamish) with her mother (Jennifer Beals<\/strong>), father (Nicholas Lea<\/strong>), and kid sister Izzy (Erica Tremblay<\/strong>.\u00a0 She is popular in school, receiving roses from admirers on \u201cCupid Day\u201d February 12.\u00a0 Since these are rich kids, they have cars, and that is how Samantha dies\u2014in a horrible crash that turns the vehicle over several times.<\/p>\n

But wait!\u00a0 She wakes up the next morning thinking she was dreaming, but when the day proceeds, she recognizes what is happening\u2014and she can predict the activities of the day including a lesson from her teacher, Mr. Daimler (Diego Boneta) about Sisyphus.\u00a0 And the same thing happens the next day and the next, seven times in fact, avoiding the car trip a few of those days but not others.\u00a0 Realizing that she has only one day (seven times over) to make things right and to die a good person, she takes steps to change her boyfriend from the thuggish Rob (Kian Lawley) to the sympathetic, clean-cut Kent (Logan Miller). Best of all, she moves to make up for years of bullying the strange Juliet (Elena Kampouris), who eats lunch alone but not before receiving nasty comments from the Lindsay and company.<\/p>\n

The film could have been more visceral had it stuck to the trajectory of the novel, where Samantha is shown especially nasty to her mother and kid sister and has joined in for years in harassing poor Juliet.\u00a0 In the novel she seduces her math teacher, but here, she simply approaches her English teacher seductively in front of the class, asking whether she is breaking his heart. She is actually the nicest of her best friends but is shown acting bitchy on only one day when she wears a suggestive dress, eye shadow, and has an attitude of anger.<\/p>\n

The film is reasonably entertaining and serves as another imaginative view of life in high school<\/strong> in a rich community that would scarcely believe a scene out of \u201cBlackboard Jungle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unrated.\u00a0 100 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong>
