Film Review – One More Shot

“One More Shot” (written by Alice Foulcher and Gregory Erdstein) is a time-travel movie, and one that involves a thirtysomething woman using a special bottle of Mexican tequila to help rewind the clock, giving her an opportunity to change certain things during a New Year’s Eve party in 1999. It’s a ridiculous concept, but certainly one that could be used for high-flying entertainment, tracking strategic use of drinking to help shape a brighter tomorrow. It comes as something of a shock to find the material isn’t interested in generating laughs, or even fun. Instead, the feature is more dramatic, tracking hard lessons of repetition as a depressed character can’t quite read the room, choosing to be self-destructive instead.
