Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 4/5

Irish Times

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.

Rated: B+

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.

It's an interesting twist of the time loop story. Having multiple characters stuck in the same loop instead of just one.

Infinite time loop romcom set at a wedding (seriously, could you think of much worse than being stuck at the same wedding for eternity?). There's not a huge amount that's new about it, but it's easy to see why it became such a lockdown hit. It's witty, with several laugh-out-loud moments, and some good performances - especially from the excellent Cristin Milioti. We could have done with more J. K. Simmons, who shines in every scene he's in, but that's a pretty much given of every film Simmons is in. It's not revolutionary, but it's a fun, engaging watch. It perhaps lack the warm heart of the big daddy of the genre, Groundhog Day, but it's well worth the time.

A lively, light-on-its-feet take on the quintessential time-loop trope, this sleek, sun-soaked romance dramedy at once entertains more vapid and vulgar appetites while navigating our futile search for meaning in a world utterly devoid of it, ultimately sending the message that the only thing that gives life its purpose are new experiences and love, ideally merged into a new lover.

Stucking on a time lup, fun. But not what I was hoping for 😉

What if Groundhog Day was a romantic comedy? The result is a quirky and fun film loaded with charm. Palm Springs does a good job at letting the audience figure things out, rather than explaining everything with exposition. Andy Samberg is hilarious (as per usual) and Cristin Milioti matches his freak completely. Their chemistry is easily one of the strongest parts of the film. I'm a sucker for "bottle episode" type movies, quick witted dialogue and a fast-paced "fun & games" montage, and this movie checked all those boxes. I didn't love the ending and there are a few minor plot points I wasn't a fan of, but it's still a movie I highly enjoyed watching.
