Palm Springs (2020)
9/10
They removed the Grumpy old man character of Groundhog Day and added a romantic comedy angle and added some science and there you go.

Warning: Spoilers
Groundhog Day gave us some pretty realistic scenarios about life but still Bill Murray was grumpy as we saw the beginning of his character's curse. Here we don't. We meet Andy aka Nyles when he has already lived the same day for years and have had made peace with it. Cristin aka Sarah, on the other hand is new and starts out grumpy but becomes the adventurous one.

J.K. Simmons is also beautiful in his character, although a short storyline. They took Groundhog Day and added some "stoner existencial crisis" type feels and added a beautiful romantic angle with an appropriate cinematography. This movie works on multiple levels, a weekend watch, a romantic watch and a fun watch. Although, there are some explicit scenes but in all they just add to the overall amusement.

It opened with a bang in Sundance and is surely worth a watch.

Cheers.
