When carefree Nyles and reluctant maid of honor Sarah have a chance encounter at a Palm Springs wedding, things get complicated as they are unable to escape the venue, themselves, or each other.
I've loved Andy Samberg since his days on Saturday Night Live, but really haven't watched many of his projects since he left the show. I haven't yet gotten into Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but it remains a show I hope to check out one day. I did however, after reading some great reviews, check out Samberg in his new film, Palm Springs, which premiered on Hulu last week.
Palm Springs (2020)
Samberg is as adorable as ever, and he's surrounded by an appealing supporting cast including; Cristin Milioti, J.K. Simmons, Peter Gallagher, Camila Mendes and Tyler Hoechlin. Directed by Max Barbakow from a screenplay by Andy Siara, Palm Springs takes a unique approach to the romantic comedy.
There's a Groundhog Day element to the film, something many of us can currently relate to with the pandemic. Days meld together and time ceases to hold the same meaning. It's sort of the meaning of time, and how we choose to spend it that runs through the film. Although there were some major plot holes, (we never did find out how it all began...) I enjoy the movie, and it's attempt at creating a unique take on the romantic comedy.
