4/5

Surface similarities to Groundhog Day are relegated to background noise, thanks to the crisp writing and the nihilistic bite of the humour.

4/5

A philosophical comedy that is not afraid to aim the odd joke below the belt or, as resolution looms, to give in to sentimentality.

There's certainly a hidden gravity to the film, a low-key melancholy. But nonetheless Palm Spring is absolutely a comedy, albeit a dark one—ironically set in sunny paradise.

This is one film I was desperate to see, and I am so glad I loved it as much as I thought I would.

Instead the conceit is elevated, thanks to updated material and two stars who can effortlessly go from irreverent to goofy to swoon-worthy in the same scene.

Palm Springs completely won me over. The way the characters are introduced feels effortless, and their progression unfolds at a really satisfying pace. The script is sharp and confident, with perfectly timed jokes that balance silliness and heart without ever dragging. Every beat feels intentional, and the humor lands consistently while still letting the story breathe. It’s clever, fun, and genuinely well-written—an incredible example of how strong scriptwriting can elevate a simple concept into something memorable.

The performances of Samberg and Simmons were strong, but Milioti's was often forced, overacted and contrived, and the camera came off of as trying very hard to love her with many close-ups, but just as her performance, this was similarly forced. The best I could say about the chemistry between the romantic leads is that they make good siblings. The goofy explanations for the time loop, and the eventual remedy, came off as pretentious, vague and unlikely. It seemed as though it stemmed from a mind on a lot of caffeine and adderall, which ultimately rendered this comedy as a flash in the pan in my opinion. But hey, I'm just an anonymous audience member who is agog this flick won any awards whatsoever, because I was only intermittently mildly amused with the comedic capers yet consistently annoyed with all the over-acting, particular from the ensemble who paled in comparison to the leads. This was made pre-pandemic, and only over 21 days, so for that it gained an extra half star.

A modern version of groundhogs Day. The rich man's version of that story.
