NAME: Jack
Characters role: Jack is the leading male in the film. He goes on a date with Emma to her house, he is nervous for the date which he normally is, and brings a remote controller that can rewind time that he can use if things go horribly wrong...which they do. The idea of bringing this sort of device to a date suggests that he is not very comfortable around women. This character is who in the film generates a lot of humour and farcical situations (which he uses the remote control to do-over) that are crucial to the storyline of the film. Such as getting into uncomfortable situations and getting things very wrong. This then creates an excuse for Jack to use the remote control to rewind time. This shows that is is not very confident in himself and makes up for this by having something to fall back on should things not work out for him. In this way he could also be described as manipulative.
Description: Jack has put effort in for the date and so wears a smart shirt and trousers. Not a full on shirt and tie but not too casual either. His general personality is that he is a sweet, well-mannered, and funny, he would like to come across as being suave although this is not always the case. His somewhat lack of social skills basics means that when confronted with certain situations he is clueless at what to do. But along with that and what helps generate the humour is that he is clumsy, nervous, agitated, uncomfortable, and when he is uncomfortable he starts to nervous laugh, laughing at things that are not meant to be funny which he perceives as a joke. Throughout the film he grows more and more in confidence. Other people know he means well but he gets things wrong often.
What makes the character appealing to the audience? Makes mistakes and audience can sympathise with him, he is a relatable to other men and women who maybe have experienced something along the same lines before.
