This movie was frustrating. I hated watching the main character be so rude and controlling and childish towards her younger self. She bulldozed her way through her younger self's life in a way that was decidedly unfunny. I actually got to the end and was cheering on her younger self to make the wrong decision just to spite her older self. I mean, HOW MESSED UP IS THAT?!?!

Of course, the overall outcome never changed even after she traveled back in time, and I guess that was sort of the message of the movie. You can change the events, but the overall story is already written. Unfortunately, the time travel mechanics were so poorly set up, that this message ended up getting completely lost.

I don't even understand why the main character even needed to go back in time when the guy she wanted to work things out with was already right there in front of her clearly still interested in a relationship. Why go back in time to fix things when you can just work them out in the present?

I liked what the movie was trying to say, but I think it did a poor job of saying it.
