'Groundhog Day at a wedding' is a piece of shorthand that wouldn't be a lie when it comes to describing 'Palm Springs,' the new, offbeat romcom starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, writes critic lindaholmes.
, an offbeat romcom with a surprising amount of charm., new this weekend on Hulu, should just say,"Watch it; it's fun. Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, romantic comedy hijinks — just watch it." That's as much as I knew about it, and I enjoyed seeing it reveal itself, and if you're willing to take my word for it, then off with you! Watch it; it's fun.
Now ... what to say to the rest of you, who need a little more, or who have already seen promotion for the film that you can't unsee. Promotion that gives away the premise.at a wedding" is a piece of shorthand that wouldn't be a lie. More specifically: Nyles is trapped in a time loop, much like's Phil . He spends every day at the same wedding at the same venue in Palm Springs, where he sees the same people , and then the next day, he wakes up, and he does it all over again.
Particularly if you see it a second time, you pick up a cleverness in what Samberg is doing with his weary portrayal of Nyles. This is a man who has learned that nothing has consequences, and he mostly doesn't like that , and he doesn't exploit that fact to be mean; he exploits it to be weird. He can make strange wedding speeches, hook up with whomever he wants, try anything, and none of it matters. So he drifts through the day, again and again, without purpose.
