@maplab No, it's not. Palm Springs was shallow, unfunny, poorly structured, shot, acted and edited.<br /> Palm Springs is basically about [spoiler]a blackpilled "doomer" millennial becoming a romantic "gloomer"[/spoiler], while The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is about [spoiler]a narcissist and a gloomer becoming "bloomers"[/spoiler].

@maplab This is totally not like Palm Springs, be careful how much you allow reviewers to shape your decision to watch something. This has it's own sweet story, it's a different genre, and other than it's "the same day is repeating" theme it's a whole different story. I could say don't watch Palm Springs, watch Daybreak instead, because it's the same apples to oranges comparison.

It's a time loop movie, there's other movies out there with the same theme, there's TV shows and written fiction. Of course some of the plot elements have been used by others, Stargate SG-1's "Window of Opportunity" was pretty close. [spoiler]Characters have some fun with the loop, spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to get out of the loop, have some nice heartfelt moments, exit the loop. Duh.[/spoiler] So in the end thinking worse of the movie because of that doesn't feel logical at all. I can't dock points for that.

In the end I liked it, it wasn't boring in its predictability, it was cute and heartfelt with actors that weren't stiff or dumb as planks. Definitely no ultimate masterpiece, but I'll probably watch it again with some popcorn.

The overriding tone (reflected in the music) of this movie has a haunting, mystical quality. The story arc continually cycles towards finding the perfect moments. The casting choices work for that theme, Margaret moves Mark towards the perfect things in their repeating day but then the movie fell apart for me. The time loop resolution has no internal logic. Margaret’s journey is emotionally resolved opening her up to hope with Mark and the future, but the attempt to explain the science (why of the loop and the how of its conclusion) make little to no sense, which kind of frustrated me as the credits rolled. I give this movie a 6 (fair) out of 10. [SciFi Mysterious Drama]

Everybody here telling people to watch Palm Springs instead... why not watch both. This movie is good, but it's not a comedy. Don't miss out on entertainment because Palm Springs is better. This is a well executed run of the mill Romance/Drama movie in a time loop setting.

This is like the emotional version of Palm Springs. First half of the movie is just fine, the second half dives into strong emotional themes, and really when I should have bailed.

If you're not into the touchy-feely type of movie, don't waste you're time ... I realize now I should have figured that out from the poster.

Damn it, I always get tricked by pseudo sci-fi films. It's like the third time this year!

I know, I know - another movie in the Groundhog Day sub-genre. They all try to have a different twist on it and some actually succeed. While there are some of the philosophical questions raised in that film they don't spend too much time in that area as its been done before (you won't see anyone driving into a quarry with a groundhog at the wheel). This movie works because the leads are perfectly cast and have fantastic chemistry. I didn't want to like it as much as I did but it sucked me in.

I enjoyed it. Fun, emotional. Characters were all likeable, and the acting was great. Doesn't need to be compared to other time loop movies - it's a good movie in its own right. Honestly, exactly what I was looking for in this moment.

This was another new unique look at living within a time-loop ala Groundhog Day. [spoiler] we start off with our main character already in the middle of the loop and seeing everything he has learned over time. Then, long-story-short, we realize we've actually been following the wrong character, that he is just a secondary character.[/spoiler]
Overall a good watch.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

A cute, well-written, well-directed, albeit quite predictable, time loop movie as a metaphor for [spoiler]Zoomers' nihilism and anxiety about the future.[/spoiler]
It had a few profound moments and some impressive long-take set pieces.
Any similarities with Palm Springs are only superficial. Palm Springs was nonsensical trash compared to this.

I feel that it needed just a tad something more in order for it to be a 7, so I rate it more like a 6.5 maybe. What I appreciated most about watching this had nothing to do with the movie itself, but I'm only writing that point here for myself as a reminder that such and such did in fact happen; or didn't.

This is a blatant ripoff from Palm Springs, which btw, was a MUCH better movie. This was trying to be a sensitive, feel-good movie, but failed. No character development, no explanation of how this got started, the ridiculous way to get out of their situation. Go watch Palm Springs. It has everything this movie tried to be and didn't.

A very clichéd and predictable movie. The film seems cyclical (literally), every ten minutes they stop to have ""philosophical" conversations. Margaret can be pretty boring at times and her plot was obvious. The film ends "without" an explanation of what caused and what ended the looping (was it the love between two people who had never seen each other before? overcoming a big loss? maybe I missed the point). But in the end it comes out like a cute movie, that's all.

The kind of film you have seen before - literally, if you're in a time loop. It's not a bad effort though it does get a little too sappy towards the end. I wouldn't watch it again... hang on, I was sure I said that yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that...dammit!

I wasn't expecting much from this film but it pleasantly surprised me. I like how the characters are both kinda unlikeable and more realistic to actual teenagers, plus the whole time loop thing gave the film more substance than just a simple "quirky high school romance" we've all seen before. I love the main actress from the show The Society. I think some things really sucked about it too, like the stereotypical "black best friend" trope where his only purpose in the film was to give advice to the white main character (this trope pisses me off to no end). But if you want to watch something kinda cute and simple with a bit of time looping going on, it's definitely worth it for me

This movie is peak white feminism. A blonde haired, blue eyed white woman uses her privilege to stop space and time, trapping the world in the same day, forcing everyone to repeat it until she finds her prince and decides it is ok to move on. Jesus it is 2021 people, we can’t continue to be ruled under the crushing fist of aryan white women in our media.

Usually I love sappy teen movies but this one bored me out of my mind. The worst part was that it was aesthetically pleasing and the idea was so fun, but none of the emotional scenes hit and I personally felt like the characters had no chemistry.
