Just when you think the Groundhog Day niche can't get any more original, this film adds a new flavour to the mix.
It's a great blend of comedy, romance, and science fiction. The perfect short summer watch, that's easy-going and especially funny.
Palm Springs, follows the blooming relationship of two wedding guests, stuck in an infinite time loop repeating the same day over and over again.
After hearing about it's recording-breaking numbers at Sundance earlier this year, my intrigue only increased. But, I just have to be honest, it wasn't as spectacular as it was hyped to be.
The performances save this film, maybe its fatigue of the repeated day genre but if your just looking for something light and comedic this is perfect.
The chemistry between Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti's characters are infectious. They both fill the screen with so much loveable and witty presence, which makes the entire film. The gags are absurd and uniquely original, keeping the laughs on-going.
The cinematography and colouring elevated the film to something more than your average indie comedy. Bright summer pinks, oranges and blues pop off the screen and echo the punchy, overtop performances.
So I'm a bit stumped with this one. I definitely enjoyed the film but most likely because of the cast. This film wouldn't have worked without the attached stars and thankfully for this film, I truly believe they owe its success to Samberg and Milioti.
If Palm Springs pops up on your streaming service, give it a watch if you're looking for a laugh.
Its amusing, light-hearted, and perfect for an evening summer watch.
3/5
