PALEO When her boss at a wild game restaurant turns into a Neanderthal, a vegetarian waitress must solve the puzzle of evolution to escape with her life.
It's a comedy. ?In that genre, the rules for the use of magic are looser. For me, the big question to answer is not HOW the magic can happen but WHY? ? What has either the girl or the guy or both done wrong -- character flaw -- that has caused this "punishment" to be inflicted on their relationship?

As Nir Shelter said. Although a script may have more than one plot thread, a logline should only describe the main plot thread, the spine of the story on which everything else hangs.

Dkpough1:
Certainly the protagonist’s goal is the driving force in?every story.
But is it always central to the hook for the purpose of a logline? ?In most cases, yes. ?But I think this movie is an exception to the normative rule, an outlier. ?In the case of this movie, I think the situation is the hook — not the particular plot. ?The hook is that the protagonist gets trapped reliving the worst day of his life over and over with no way and there is no escape.
The situation is such a fertile field for an almost infinite number of ?scenarios.?As numerous as the viewing audience: ?we ?can all empathize with Phil’s plight; we can all imagine what it would be like to have to relive the worst day of our life, endlessly with no wait out. ?In my case: the horror, the horror! In Phil’s case, the comedy, the comedy!
Yes, Phil does lock into a specific objective goal around 40 minutes into the film: ?bed Rita. ?How gripping is that for the purpose of a logline, to entice someone to read the script?
IMHO: the situation is the hook, the ?sizzle that sells the steak, not Phil’s particular objective goal.
