Review of Palm Springs (2020) by Theredsky — 05 Sep 2020
A very refreshing take on the romantic comedy. The leads here are excellent. Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti do an excellent job portraying these characters with imperfections who learn to love each other through a weird situation.
They both have excellent chemistry as well which really contributes to romances in general. The other performances are all right except J.K. Simmons who I also felt was excellent here. The film has some issues in pacing and some of the effects but it’s so investing and entertaining.
Most time loop movies take themselves seriously sometimes with the exception of this and Groundhogs Day. Palm Springs understands how dumb these movies can be and goes out of its way to be funny and most of the time, the humor works.
For a first feature, Max Barbakow knocks it out of the park with his direction. It’s well written and well shot with plenty of interesting ideas about how we live our life and love. Check this out on Hulu when you get the chance.
