Not perfect, but pretty darn close, considering it's ANOTHER "tale as old as timey whimey wibbly wobbly, time looping Groundhog Day-esque, exploration of what would happen if you got stuck in a temporal loop and couldn't get out. BUT, instead of just one person realizing they were caught in a loop, what if there were others there with you, to explore the possibilities, good, bad, light, or dark?

Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti are indeed a quantum match for this screwball take on a potentially played out premise. But, the supporting cast, rather than being mere detritus and fodder for various sight gags and miscues, actually add to the storyline.

As J.K Simmons mused later in the film, "you have to find your really good day, and try to be happy there". Well that's ONE solution, or, is it? Even if you were able to share that perfect day with the perfect person, would you want to be stuck there forever? An interesting question, that has been explored before, but, here, somehow is fresher, and more thought provoking.

Is the paradox resolved in the climax? I was left with questions, but, perhaps that was done purposely, perhaps leaving room for part 2.

Worth a watch.....
