Paul E A bit slow but worth it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Dan J What a charming little film! You get a right mix of rom com, an overarching mystery, and a fresh take on the groundhog day plot structure. I just really really enjoyed the watch as it blew my expectations away. I suppose what I really enjoyed was that there is a real groundedness in how the characters enjoyed the day to day life. That spirit is delivered with lightness and relatability. Highly recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Audience Member Kathyrn Newton and Kyle Allen make their own map of perfect things in life Mark and Margaret are two high school teens They both feel trapped living a mundane existence at such a young age Then something miraculous happens; Mark and Margaret find themselves in a time loop Both of them form a magnetic partnership doing whatever they want without consequence but how long can they do it before realizing they don’t want to do it forever? There’s infinite do overs to get something right or until something eventually happens, it’s like everyone is else is dreaming and you’re the only one awake, who knows what everybody wants to be at 17?, is it good or bad to miss out on the stuff we don’t have to experience if time doesn’t move forward?, time is the stuff when you spend it you don’t get it back, it true we lose it every day but also gain it, is everything we fix meant to stay broken?, if you don’t face death or losing someone it eats you up, we all want to hold onto that precious moment as long as possible Newton and Allen have such delightful chemistry and the sci-fi element is subtle without being bogged down by a lot of jargon or data dumping There’s also a big change in the narrative which caught me by surprise The film is a romance at its core all about making the perfect things our own escaping our own reality A decent coming of age flick that says it’s not always about you but it can be about others together Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Stephen G Despite what some comments and reviews suggest, this is NOT a remake of Groundhog Day. Oh, the basic backdrop of living the same day over and over again is there. But about 2/3 or 3/4 through the film, it takes a turn that I won't explain in order to avoid spoilers, but that makes this a different and in some ways better film. The movie is not nearly as funny as Groundhog Day, though it does have its light moments. But the plot twist is worth waiting for. The performances of the two leads also are quite fine. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Audience Member Maybe if you're a teenager, naive and romantic, maybe you'd like it. This refried version of Groundhog Day really makes you yearn for the real thing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Julian Rex M Visually graceless yet masterfully composed, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things functions as a more meaningful take on the oft-told story of Groundhog Day, and a bold debut from writer Lev Grossman.
