Yeahhhhhhh... this just wasn't good.
Mosby's wife was excellent but beyond 3 genuine laughs, this was an absolute waste of time... even at a whopping 90 minutes.

Disappointing to hear. I’ll probably still watch due to just not having a ton of options for new stuff.

An interesting twist on the Groundhog Day thing (especially the ending) that was funny in a variety of ways, charming, and maybe even a little bit deep. Andy Samberg is Andy Samberg (and it works) but Cristin Milioti was absolutely awesome... both hilarious and real. Really loved her in this.

"One night, a very long time ago..... I partied with Roy."
I thought this was a very funny, sweet movie....... Meredith Hagner ("Wait whattt"), JK Simmons, Peter Gallagher ("This dentist glues teeth!") all had me on the floor, and Andy Samberg is an awesome fit here in this part (dot dot dot), and well... time-loop movies are a guilty pleasure but this finds its own interesting corners of it. Cristin Milioti is sub-Alison Brie here though, and idk if I liked the ending....

I loved everything about it. Samberg and Milioti are fantastic together. Fun concept. The script is wonderful and actually has a lot to say.
2020 has been thin but it's easily my favorite of the year. It will definitely remain in my top 10. I already want to watch it again.

Got a kick out of this for sure... Don't see too many adult-oriented, totally accessible, original and genuinely heartfelt romcoms like this these days. Feels like a fresh spin on something that is familiar and comfortable, with a cheesy message stated in a non-cheesy way. Again, familiar but honest, where the emotional development of the characters actually feels earned and worth being invested in. Samberg and Milioti have the chemistry to carry it ... the supporting cast get most of the outright laughs though, Simmons is excellent as are most of the other hilarious bit players. It's a good time! Certainly worth checking out on Hulu, and honestly would probably be worth watching again if I'm a little bit tipsy and with other people who will also laugh at anything...

I'm honestly shocked that people here love it. But hey, I've been wrong many times before.

I don't do it intentionally... if I like something, I like it-- if I don't, I don't. Trust me, I really would rather love a movie than I would to hate one. It's just far more fun to post about one I don't. /antonego. But really, Milotti was excellent... I didn't think the film was.

Yeah I loved it. Obviously the concept isn't anything groundbreaking, but Samberg and Milioti's chemistry takes this thing to great heights, and it's genuinely funny and earnest to boot. Great appearances from JK Simmons and Dale Dickey (who I just realized may in fact be one of the best character actresses working today?).

Was decent, clever fun with two fantastic leads in Samberg and Milioti. Felt it could have got a bit more out of its premise, but I also liked how snappy and succinct it was. Won't stay in my mind too long, but I really enjoyed it.

Didn't do it for me. It's a tired premise that they failed to spice up that much.

Kind of a nice and mellow little comedy which I wish pushed the laughs pedal a little bit further. Instantly forgettable and minor-feeling but somewhat sweet while you're in it.

This was okay. I like the rom/com genre so for me to not want to rewatch it means, well, it didn't do what it needed to do. I think the critics just like the take of setting a rom/com in a time loop.

Well put me in the bucket that enjoyed this. It was a nice take on the time loop and was carried nicely by Samberg and Milioti.

Nothing spectacular but I thought this was a fun movie with likable leads that seems pretty accessible without feeling dumbed down. Worked for me.
