“Ha! This movie is bold, sweet, and funny!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m 65 years old and generally a prude when it comes to sex and violence. But this was a charmingly-delightful experience into a clever time-loop snafu, so I got over the cartoon sex and cartoon violence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAndy Samberg captures some of Bill Murrayu0026#39;s frustration in Groundhog Day but then makes it charmingly his own. Andy is exhausted but then added into the mix is the captivating Cristin Milioti. And then things just take off in a bizarre way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe bar dance was mesmerizing and hilarious. Bonus points for the great J.K Simmons who stole every scene he was in. Bonus points for the amazing chemistry of Samberg and Milioti.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ll let the rest of the reviewers discuss direction, set design, editing, and cinematography – but all were perfect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn a normal year, this film wouldu0026#39;ve garnered many academy award nominations. Maybe Best Picture wouldu0026#39;ve gone to such a unique comedy. Who knows how the 2020 AA will shake out but this movie is just charming and delightful. Watch and enjoy! Itu0026#39;s laugh-out-loud fun and just so sweet.”
