Critics Consensus

Strong performances, assured direction, and a refreshingly original concept make Palm Springs a rom-com that's easy to fall in love with.

4/5

Surface similarities to Groundhog Day are relegated to background noise, thanks to the crisp writing and the nihilistic bite of the humour.

4/5

A philosophical comedy that is not afraid to aim the odd joke below the belt or, as resolution looms, to give in to sentimentality.

It would be easy to dismiss Palm Springs as a Groundhog Day rip-off. It would also be myopic, misguided, and moronic.

There's certainly a hidden gravity to the film, a low-key melancholy. But nonetheless Palm Spring is absolutely a comedy, albeit a dark one—ironically set in sunny paradise.

This is one film I was desperate to see, and I am so glad I loved it as much as I thought I would.

If I had to relive a day over and over again and again I would watch Palm Springs with Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg, as long as Roy kept his distance. I jest. I have watched this film too, too many times. Y'know, any film can be a Rorschach, a litmus, a palimpsest. This film is my "I am lonely and drinking every day" film. Just like The Martian was my "Covid lockdown" film. Just like... 17 other films I watch on repeat repeat to cauterise a psychology I cannot exorcise. Films are cheaper than actual psychologists. Just saying. All great films are a mirror to the soul. It's a love story with a twist. Some scenes are unnecessary (midpoint montage). I do like that Sarah goes full Einstein and is our hero (spoiler alert). As an Aussie, I always find the Aussie celebrant weird as hell. Like, how? He even uses Australianisms. It disorients me, what must it be like for non-Australians. Rewatch? I really need to stop drinking, stop being lonely. If you haven’t watched it? Do: it’s fun.

I love this movie. It was not a typical romantic comedy but I love both leads- and the groundhog day shenanigans of flawed characters was fun.

This movie was quite simply the worst movie I’ve ever watched.

Palm Springs completely won me over. The way the characters are introduced feels effortless, and their progression unfolds at a really satisfying pace. The script is sharp and confident, with perfectly timed jokes that balance silliness and heart without ever dragging. Every beat feels intentional, and the humor lands consistently while still letting the story breathe. It’s clever, fun, and genuinely well-written—an incredible example of how strong scriptwriting can elevate a simple concept into something memorable.
