Harper (Charity Rose) is basically a cute girl in her early teens who
has a bit of a big mouth that gets her into trouble time and again - so
much so that she starts to believe people, even her own parents (Julia
Parker, Richard Neil) don't like her for exactly this reason, and as a
result, she wants to be someone else. Thing is, she gets her wish and
wakes up the next morning as a bummed out student (Diego Medellin), and
much to her horror, while her hometown's still the same, it's populated by
a whole new set of people, including her parents' house. Thing is, she
wakes up as someone else every day, and everyone else has changed as well
- and while she's looking for her parents, she just fails to succeed ...
well, until she does find her father, when she's twentysomething Layla
(Kally Khourshid), and her dad is actually her boyfriend's (Travis Grant)
father who finds her attitude less than amusing. But Harper's odyssey goes
on and on, from a crappy father (Zachary Ray Sherman) to an old man on a
death bed (Arthur Roberts) to a suicidal young man (Ka'Prise Colvin) to a
woman (Jordan Knapp) who has lost all memories of her own or Harper's past
lives, leaving even the pastor (Tim Hildebrand) she turns to baffled ... What
could have been a painful tearjerker that tries too hard to drive its
message home on paper has actually turned into a pretty entertaining
movie, basically thanks to pretty clever screenwriting that finds a good
blend between the dramatic and the comedic and relies on a rich variety
rather than having everything point in the same direction. Plus
storytelling definitely trumps over messaging in this one, found even in
the film's finale and post credit scene. And add to that a solid ensemble
cast carried by a sure-handed yet subtle directorial effort and you've got
yourself a rather enjoyable film.
