It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The beginning of the movie hooks you completely, the story presents itself as very interesting and full of mystery, to some extent it reminded me to Memento (2000) or The Butterfly Effect (2004) but as it progresses the film becomes Premonition (2007) mixed with Déjà vu (2006), the cuts in the time-lines are completely lose and end up telling you the story in a linear way until the end that concludes extremely cheesy pretty much like Hallmark Channel style. The message is nice but freezes up there, does not go further, and it is unfortunate since the initial approach was to be an excellent thriller but the script ended up being a soap opera. A real shame.

Shuffle just gets some ideas from other movies (Memento, Butterfly effect, and a couple more) and makes an interesting movie for the first 20 minutes or so. Then it goes out of control, gets dark and slow, and you know an uplifting end is coming...sometime. But it just drags on and on until you reach - not an uplifting- but terribly corny ending. And I mean it, the end was just missing bunnies and sweets falling from the sky to make it the corniest ending in film history.Aside from that, you have to watch an entire hour of a film solely based in a "dreamy" visual effect out of the Big Giant's Looks (anyone with a slight knowledge of After Effects or any film editing software knows what I mean). There's also a "revealing" scene which is supposed to happen in slow motion or halted time...and the background is a bad photograph of a poorly lit street. Anyway, you can see the lights as in a bad night photograph, with hard light streaks and not as it would look on film.I don't know, but this movie didn't make it for me, neither it's script or visual style.

Today's low budgeted independent films usually give me a pause at first. For example, many low budget movies from 70's 80's did not color their films in order to look more expensive, they did not rely on rapid editing, or shaky camera for whatever purposes. Interesting plots and solid acting usually did the trick.I was so pleasant surprised and intrigued from the beginning of the film. I can't wait to see how the story unfolded, the solid acting of every actors and the director's modest style carried the film nicely. It will be great if Hollywood gives the director bigger budget to remake. It deserved to be viewed by more people.The ending was the real problem. Sure, a sentimental Lifetime TV movie ending was alright. It didn't seem to fit the first 70 minutes of movie. It still can be a happy ending, just not that one.

"Everyday I wake up at a different age in a different year on a different day of my life and it's scaring the hell out of me. I want it to stop." Lovell Milo (Thyne) is trying to figure out what happened with his life. Lately he has been waking up at different ages at different times in his life. One day he will be 24 fall asleep and wake up 8. Wake up at 92 fall asleep and be 20. On top of that he has narcolepsy so he has no control over when he changes. He wakes up one morning and realizes he is engaged and he is really happy, when he wakes up again its a few years later and his wife is dead. He know is trying to do everything he can to stop that from happening. I was very much looking forward to this movie. One of the most original ideas to come out in a while. I was expecting it to be a little like "Memento" but it was original. The acting is OK and the movie is pretty low budget but I really enjoyed this. It gets to the point where you feel for Lovell and every time he falls asleep you feel sorry for him. The way the movie is set up you honestly can't predict what happens next witch is great and really keeps you interested the entire time. The only thing that ruined the movie is the twist at the very end. Movie is going along great and the the last 30 seconds really took all the air out of it and really disappointed me. I would still recommend this but be warned that the ending isn't satisfying. Overall, a very good low budget movie that is worth seeing but had an ending that almost ruined the movie. I give it a B+.
