Anyone seen this movie yet? It's sort of a romantic comedy-twist on Groundhog Day. I caught it the other night and I thought it was good. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milotti have great chemistry, there's some clever writing, the plot goes in some interesting directions.

Yes! I watched this last night. Cute movie, funny, great cast. Just the kind of movie we need right now. I find myself still thinking about some of the little details, but don’t want to say anything too spoilerish. I wouldn’t mind watching it again to go back and check a few things. Lately, I’ve found myself only wanting to watch things that are not depressing and that feel escapish. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy this, but have been surprising myself lately. The other one I recently saw and really loved was Eurovision!

I loved it! I caught it at a local drive-in theatre on Sunday night. It was genuinely hilarious, great performances all around, and just made me feel really good inside. I'd highly recommend it.

Oh, I adored this movie. I am visiting family this month so I caught this show at the Charcoal Corral in Perry, NY. It was a nice break from the horror that is 2020.
Highly recommended!

I saw it a few days ago. Samberg and Milioti were both decent (liked their chemistry though), but it's a shame that Peter Gallagher and JK Simmons were stuck with thankless roles. Thank God it was all over after just 90 minutes.
I thought Palm Springs was mediocre at best. I don't get all the rave reviews, and I disliked much of the second half (final scenes excluded). Groundhog Day, to me, was the better-executed time loop movie.

Agreed. I thought it was a lame, unfunny rip-off of Groundhog Day (which I think is an overrated movie to begin with, though I do like it). It's indicative of how lazy this movie is that the title they came up for it is "Palm Springs," even though it's not about Palm Springs at all and just happens to be set there (but it could have been set anywhere).

I think it's because his girlfriend was always going to cheat on him with the Australian officiant, no matter what he did. I also think that JK Simmons got stuck really early on, so Andy Samberg was always more careful.
