Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When Barry checks the department directory to find Lisa's office number, three of the first four names listed are members of the film's Art Department crew: lead person Gene Bishop, on-set dresser David S. Bridson, and assistant property master Ashley Davies. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: About 27 minutes into the movie, we see a shot of a newspaper article bearing the headline "TIME BOUNCE THEORY POSSIBLE THREAT", sub-headed "Scientists Predict Experiment Could Cause Time to Repeat". The shot is clear enough that we can clearly read the main article text, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the headers or with anything happening in the movie. The article text simply consists of the following bit of text repeated over and over again: "For a new practice complete a documentary on Los Angeles dance pioneer Lester Horton, one of his former company members is searching for archival footage as well as presenting a dance performance as a fund-raising benefit. As the new times" more
Quotes:
[as Jack reaches his office cubicle on the "fourth" morning, his supervisor comes over to deliver her usual tirade, which this time he cuts off]
Anne Jackson: Well, look who decided to show up.
Barry Thomas: Oh, Anne, don't get your panties in a bunch. If you just left us alone, the work could get done. But no, you're so damn invasive that no one can concentrate around here. So just stop assuming that we're all idiots, and don't you judge people by how cute they are!
[Anne Jackson is taken aback. Howard raises his head high enough over the cubicle wall that we can see by his expression that he's impressed]

A cute wonderful little known movie, 8 January 2002
9/10
Author: sanctuary-1 (sanctuary@dcsi.net.au) from Australia

12:01 is one of those movies that no one ever heard of but if they see it will remember it forever. In the same vein as Groundhog Day but with a much more interesting plot, 12:01 is the story of someone caught in a time bounce who must live the same day over and over and each day see the woman he secretly adores killed before his eyes. Silverman plays the part beautifully from answering his Mothers pointed questions to his impatience to finally get it right. Helen Slater is also wonderful as the love interest killed each day.

The movie moves quickly through the days and provides all sorts of interesting little moments as Barry Thomas tries to stop the bounce while saving his girl.

A beautiful story acted out by excellent acting and directing. I strongly urge you to find it in a video store or tape it off late night TV if you have the chance. Once you have seen it you wont forget it.
