Minnie perks up, squeezes into a dress, and grabs a gifted bottle of liquor from Mexico.
Could this be the year she reunites with Joe, and they live happily ever after?
As expected, Minnie uses her newfound superpower selfishly and frivolously.
One More Shot is a time loop comedy set on New Year’s Eve 1999, featuring Minnie, who discovers a bottle of time-traveling tequila. With each sip, she returns to the night’s start, aiming to win over her old flame Joe, while grappling with personal challenges.
Minnie fixates on recapturing the mood without remorse for Jenny and the wreck that could cause.
Oh, and then there’s Dr. “C-Word” (Hamish Michael).
Perhaps his pretentious and lame advances will tickle others.
Payoffs, consequences, and plot advancements all float through lukewarm melodrama that hardly reaches a simmer.

There’s a counterbalance to everything it’s trying to accomplish.
