"Premonition" ** (out of four): Sandra Bullock stretches the bounds of her charm in this somber, time-tripping attempt to do for marital malaise what "Groundhog Day" did for commitmentphobia.

In "Premonition" - a time-tripping attempt to do for marital malaise what “Groundhog Day” did for commitmentphobia – a bored housewife named Linda (Sandra Bullock) wakes up one day, like any other day, and goes about her daily routine. She makes breakfast, takes the kids to school, jogs, does laundry - the usual. The day then takes a tragic turn when Linda learns, from an all too cryptic policeman, that her husband (Julian McMahon from “Nip/Tuck”) has been killed in a car accident. Understandably, Linda takes the rest of the day to grieve and console her two daughters before passing out on the couch. The next day she wakes up in her bed…next to her husband – who is, it turns out, quite alive. Was it all a dream? Eventually (and it takes her a while to figure it out) it becomes clear that Linda is living the days of one week in random order. And, at some point, her husband is going to die.
