Palm Springs (2020)

You think the Groundhogs Day model has been fully explored with recent innovators like Happy Death Day but then Palm Springs comes along. This romantic comedy brings a whole new dimension to the concept of infinity. Clever and innovative, funny, romantic, heartfelt, even profound. It’s among the year’s best.

On November 9 in Palm Springs, Sarah (Cristin Milioti) is shocked when Nyles (Andy Samberg) - a complete stranger - gives a touching speech at her sister’s wedding. While everyone celebrates, they connect privately. The next morning, Sarah wakes up. It’s still November 9th. Nyles has been stuck in a time loop. Every morning, he wakes up and it’s November 9th and now, it's happening to Sarah too.

Initially, Palm Springs offers the jokes you’d expect. Nyles has lived this day an innumerable amount of time. He navigates the ceremony like a wizard, expertly predicting everyone’s dance moves and saying the best lines but beneath that exterior is profound boredom. Anything Sarah thinks of, he’s tried before. Now, his days are spent drinking and going through the motions. When he gets a playmate, the same day repeated over and over means infinite possibilities for schemes and pranks - the kind that would be the stuff of legends and it's hilarious.

Woven into the fun is a deep story about lasting love. Try repeating this day over and over: you wake up next to a girlfriend (Meredith Hagner) you know doesn’t love you anymore, getting ready for a wedding that - in your view - isn’t going anywhere. All alone. He’s reached peak cynicism. He so doesn’t care about anything he's not even looking for an escape. Why bother when dying just means starting over?

Everything changes once Sarah is brought into the loop. Nyles isn’t alone anymore. He’s still trapped but there’s a huge difference between eternity, and eternity with someone else. Palm Springs may be about a fictional scenario that could never happen to any of us but just wait a bit. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti have excellent chemistry. You want them to get together - they’ve literally got infinite time to figure out they’d be the perfect couple… but would they be? Isn't it a matter of time before they get sick of each other? Would they be together if they weren't the only people whose day didn't reset to zero? This is where real-life parallels can be drawn. When you’re in a marriage, you’re in it for the long run. Every morning will be "the same". You'll always wake up married to your spouse. How much of that relationship is maintained by love? How much by comfort of not having to look for someone? That’s a difficult question and the sci-fi premise allows Palm Springs to get to it efficiently, to condense and resolve it in a way no other scenario could.

Palm Springs may have its goofy moments but the jokes are stacked upon real-life questions everyone in a long-term relationship asks themselves. It's deceptively deep when it isn't gut-bustingly funny and whatever you do, don’t miss the mid-credit scene, which wraps it all up perfectly. (April 24, 2021)

#PalmSprings: Cuando Nyles quedó atrapado en un bucle con Sarah (Post completo en la link de la bio) “Palm Spring” del director #MaxBarbakow es una comedia romántica en donde destaca el humor físico de #AndySamberg acompañado de una interpretación encantadora de #Cristin Millioti. Si ya has visto “#Eldíadelamarmota” o cualquier otra producción que implique estar atrapado en un bucle temporal, ya estás familiarizado con el principal objetivo de los protagonistas: encontrar un modo de salir del bucle. En ese sentido, “Palm Springs” no está descubriendo la fórmula, pero sí encuentra un modo, a través de su historia, de ir más allá de la ciencia ficción tocando temas como la soledad y la autodestrucción sin dejar de ser divertida. No creo que haya otra comedia de destrone a “Palm Spring” como la mejor comedia del año. Muy pocas producciones podrán emular su ingenio y originalidad, además, paradójicamente, calza en una época de transición hacia una nueva normalidad después de meses atrapados en casa con un mensaje muy claro sobre la vida; hay que seguir adelante y enfrentar los problemas cuando vengan. #elyalovi #peliculas #reviewpeliculas #nylesxsarah #bucledetiempo #loop #comedia #comediaromántica https://www.instagram.com/p/CDb4CfNBfms/?igshid=izutb0t0hnnw

Today at http://psychodrivein.com Palm Springs (2020) I am a sucker for a clever time travel tale, or parallel universes, a sci-fi story where the creative ingenuity is front and center, and Palm Springs is a delightful new rom-com bursting with imagination. --- Read more of Nate's review at the link in our profile! #palmsprings #andysamberg #cristinmilioti #jksimmons #andysiara #maxbarbakow #hulu #scifi #groundhogday #timeloop https://www.instagram.com/p/CCttDvOHknt/?igshid=8vhq1imehu0q

#PalmSprings ****(Out of 4) I was surprised at how much I was affected by this movie. On the surface it is a clever remake of “Groundhog Day”. Underneath there is so much more going on with these characters. It is crazy how a time loop can cause different people to examine their lives in such different ways. This movie has more up it’s sleeve then your typical romantic comedy. There are cosmic forces at work that bring these characters together that really exposes who they are. . . . . #moviejunkie #cinephile #film #films #filmreviews #filmreview #movie #movies #moviereviews #review #reviews #moviereview #critic #movienight #moviedate #movie🎥 #movietime🎬 #movietime #moviegeek #moviebuff #moviecritic #movieaddict #2020 #andysamberg #cristinmilioti #jksimmons #maxbarbakow #comedy #drama (at Langford, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFEIEetlcZj/?igshid=ega5tgvbe9ws
