Available now on Hulu. It’s very good. Imagine Groundhog Day at a wedding in Palm Springs. 
 

Cristin Milioti is terrific. It’s good to see her get another shot after that disastrous final season of How I Met Your Mother.

She was one of the only good things about the final season of HIMYM

I loved the what if Andie MacDowell knew she was in Groundhog Day dynamic. Again Milioti is great and strong enough to pull up Samberg doing Andy Samberg things. 

J.K. Simmons is good in everything, but he really plays to his strengths in this film. 

Never heard of it and thought I'd flip over to Hulu tonight and see if there was anything worth watching.  Loved it. The Groundhog's Day dynamic is a lot of fun with two people, the whole early middle part with the two of them was hilarious.

That's where I was. Good flick.

Liked it, solid covid isolation movie for us.

Had a wtf moment at the end before they threw in the mid credits scene.

I love me some Samberg and his antics.

Liked this chick despite not knowing much about her. She kinda had a mouth/smile that resembles an old ex. I liked it.

Lots of “I know that person” through out this movie.

I liked the wrinkle thrown into the Groundhog Day/time loop scenario

Love this movie. Even better on second viewing.

I agree that Cristin Milioti is great!

Speaking of the soundtrack, wasn’t there a reznor or Atticus Ross sounding song when she was doing the physics learning montage?

Or am I losing my mind.

I also spotified the soundtrack

I’ve watched 185 new movies this year and this is the first one where I may go back and watch it again immediately

I really enjoyed this movie.  Thanks for the recommendation.

Of the same day time loop movies I'd put it second behind Groundhog Day, but ahead of Happy Death Day and Edge of Tomorrow.

All 4 of those are quality imo, strangely enough. I loved Palm Springs but putting it ahead of Edge of Tomorrow is tough.

Yeah, I was gonna say I liked all of them.  I've always liked the concept of how tiny decisions in your day can change everything for you, which of course these movies emphasize.

If I'm ranking I go Groundhog, Palm, Edge, Death.  I think you could argue about any of the last three for second place, and your preference may depend on if you like horror, action or comedy.

Never heard of it.  Worth it?

If you’re a fan of Natasha lyonne, sure. She stars and I think produces it, so theres a lot of her personality in it. 

I think I watched that whole thing on a plane. I enjoyed it but don't think about it all that much, I'd say a B, but also I think I am less favorable towards things I watch on a plane.

Good call! Totally forgot about it. Definitely worth watching.

Oh shit. I just watched The Old Guard. It brings a terrifying thought to the whole Groundhog Day life. When you watch it you will know what I’m talking about.

Ha. What?  She’s great in everything. Who gives a fuck about that show? What was that 10 years ago? Grow up.

That whole scene was nightmare fuel for me.  Awful.

Really enjoyed this movie. Milloti was absolutely wonderful and the perfect buffer for Samberg. I like Andy and hopefully he's learning how to reel it in a la Steve Martin, Tom Hanks and Jim Carey. He's got the talent to be something special.

The girl got to the end of her rope pretty quickly huh? By day 3 or so she was ready to off herself.

Was quick, can't remember if that was definitely 3 days or if there was an implied greater than 3 days, but even if it was I think they did a reasonably good job of setting up why a) she could have been near the end of her rope anyways and b) reliving that day in particular over and over again might have pushed her there quicker.

When she was trying to do Groundhog's Day solution to the problem, I'm not sure if it is clear what she told her sister. There was a later revealed secret that could have been it, but I'm not sure if that fits the criteria for what she was trying to accomplish and I'm also not sure if the reaction was right for that to have been what she told her sister.

Yeah the wife and I read that wedding scene as her telling her sister.

Also I think it was implied that they were having fun and ducking around for an extended period of time. Which is why he fell in love with her despite having dicked around thousands of time before she pooped in.

I thought they were only there because they did mushrooms. Did the dinosaurs ever appear again?

at the very end.

I saw somewhere else that there are a set of rock formations that people call dinosaur or something like that.

Not that that matters to the question above.

We watched it last night. Really enjoyed it. The wife was curious if the old lady who came up and told them individually that each gave the best wedding speech she's ever heard had also been stuck in the loop there. She based it on her saying "you'll be leaving soon", as if the old lady knew she was going to get out of the loop because she did something different.

Damnit, now I have to watch it again. Not like that's a bad thing.

I thought she was definitely in the loop when I saw that exchange.

I also got a "oh she's in the loop and is just rolling with it" feeling from that

I guess I got a different feel from it as they had spent so many loops in it that they basically knew what to say to have the most impact to the crowd.

 

Like how Andy eventually lets loose that that speech is basically his lock to sleep with her based on prior trials.

He definitely has the speech down from years and years of living the same night, is just in the last scene with the old lady she says something that indicates maybe she is also living the loop with them

I enjoyed it. Nothing amazing, but it is definitely a good quarantine time-waster. Did everyone see the scene during the credits with Simmons and Sandberg? If you didn't, it's worth going back to watch.

And the old lady was definitely stuck in the time loop. I'm surprised that some of you think she was not.

You talking about "The Brazilian" by Genesis?

  • 4 years later...

Finally watched the whole thing.  Damn good time loop movie, close to Groundhog.

And yeah, the old lady was in the loop.

 

another good time loop movie is "Arq". Throw in some science fiction and action. Even takes a stab at explaining the time loop and how the scientist creates a perpetual motion machine (hint- it involves stealing energy from the future, thus creating the time loop). 

 

Talking about time loop movies - Triangle has to be my favorites.

Others I enjoy:
Edge of Tomorrow
About Time
Predestination
Primer
Timecrimes
Resolution/The Endless
Coherence
Caddo Lake
