Guardian

Yes, it's predictably crude and juvenile, but in between the bodily secretion gags there's dialogue and performances that are genuinely funny.

Rated: 3/5

Los Angeles Times

A rapidly wearying comedy that mistakes crudeness with humor.

A retread of every lousy '80s high school comedy you never bothered watching.

Assignment X

The filmmakers seem not to understand the difference between a social error and sexual assault, which is deeply depressing.

Rated: D

The Film Stage

Imperfect, yet energetic and complete with big laughs and heart, if you're nostalgic for the American Pie flicks, Premature will do the trick.

Why does this movie have such bad reviews? It was awesome. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a while, mixed with the well-written romance, this easily makes it into my top 15 movies.

Ground hog day and a teenager's wet dream and moral dilemma. Amusing and childish and sometimes meh. Easy to watch but just OK.

This is a crude version of American pie with time loop concept, it does make you laugh but the problem is it has more misses than hits.

I went in thinking I would know everything about to happen, but was baffled to walk out of the room not understanding what the fuck just went down. As my job to see all shitty movies on Netflix, this ranks pretty damn badly. The only real complement I could give is that some jokes made me chuckle. Thats kinda the whole movie. A shitty, nonsensical, and dumb movie.

A decent middling effort- comedy is hard to pull off (no pun intended) but one that mixes the plot of American Pie and Groundhog Day is setting its sights way too high. Having said that Premature is still better than many of the big budgeted comedy films coming out lately. One time watch with a bunch of friends and a crate of beer. (A middling effort but can be seen once)
