Palm Springs is a fun time loop comedy. Mainly because it assumes that the audience is familiar with the Groundhog Day concept so it hits the ground running.

Nyles (Andy Samberg ) has been reliving the same day for ages. He goes to the wedding each day of a friend of his live in girlfriend Misty (Meredith Hagner) who is also cheating on him.

At the wedding Nyles hooks up with the bride's sister Sarah (Cristin Milioti) who has got sloshed at the wedding.

Later Nyles is attacked by a stranger with a crossbow and runs for safety.

He then relives the day again. Only this time Sarah is in the time loop with him. She followed him into a cave that contained some kind of a time vortex.

Sarah has to get used to her new life like Nyles. However she plans to escape from the time loop. She also gets Nyles to confront the stranger who keeps attacking him.

This is an enjoyable romantic comedy. The two leads have a good chemistry. It is a good reworking of Groundhog Day as well as Russian Doll as the characters reveal a little more about themselves on each new day.
