Palm Springs Brings the Comedy Heat
This summer, and year for that matter, has felt very repetitive after staring at the same four walls, day after day after day, in a never ending cycle. Leave it to The Lonely Island to find a way to reinvent this Groundhog Day formula into a modern classic. Palm Springs takes that singular concept of repeating the same day and pulls from it a comedy of complacency, self-improvement, and the emotional weight of companionship.
Andy Samberg and Christin Miloti star in this time bending comedy who get trapped living both their worst days on repeat. The dichotomy of how each approach their new found immortality provides plenty of laughs and charm as this pairing brilliantly plays off each others strengths and comedic timing. This fire pairing also brings out the heart of the film as they reveal and confront each others deepest fears leading to an emotional payoff. This all comes to a satisfying ending that only The Lonely Island can provide with the wit, charm, and hilarity of a climactic finale.
Palm Springs offers the quintessential escapism of the mundane in order to provide a fresh taste on a tried and true concept. Andy Samberg and Christin Miloti provide the perfect summer pairing of hilarity and charm to a delightful story telling experience. Just when you think you've seen everything, Palm Springs lets you experience a different kind of endless summer.
