This modern-tech take on the "Groundhog day" with a touch of "Back to the Future" starts interesting. It has some good or at least interesting jokes. Like, our main character has a time machine that he controls with a phone. And it often malfunctions, showing the silly "busy" signs (whatever happened to the good-old sand-watch?), or simply flashing silly or showing that some feature "is offline".
Also, the idea that he tries to fix things he did wrong in the past with his girlfriend, presumably making him dump him, but it doesn't help, she still dumps him, is interesting.
But, by the time they ditch that idea, as he does manage to "evade the dumping", things take a turn for the worse. The fun and funny start taking a back seat, but other stuff wasn't that good to begin with - and it, too, gets worse.
By the end, we have a silly and misguided feminist rant about "you can't control me" and a bunch of other stuff not making much sense. Story is lost, point is lost... hell, pretty much all is lost.
So, it's a pity. They were on to something, but couldn't close the deal.
