The comedy with Andy Samberg was a huge hit at Sundance, with Hulu buying the film for a net order of $ 17.5 million (and 69 cents, which ... nice). Directed by Max Barbakow based on a screenplay by Andy Siara (and produced in part by Samberg and his cohorts Lonely Island, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer), the quick release is "Groundhog Day", but at a wedding. , and it is excellent.

It is at this point that he meets Sarah (Cristin Milioti, TV's "No Activity"), the bride's sister and maid of honor, who is clearly not interested in the process. She may say that something is off-center about Nyles, but she still ends up going out into the desert with him to find a connection. Everything goes well… until a mysterious man of darkness appears and shoots Nyles with an arrow. Nyles calls the man by his name, is Roy (J.K. Simmons, "21 Bridges") and flees at night. Roy enters a strange, bright cave; the wounded Nyles crawls afterwards. Sarah appears at the mouth of the cave, but despite a warning from Nyles, she follows him.

A bewildered and confused Sarah tracks down Nyles, who is when she learns that she’s been trapped in a time loop for an indefinite (but extremely long) time, and that she is now too. No matter what they do, as they spend the day, they will wake up in the same place on the morning of November 9th. Sarah tries to make her way out of the loop, but proves incapable. Nyles also shares that Roy is also trapped, due to a cocaine-fed bender the two shared; Roy appears occasionally to take revenge exactly on Nyles, whom he blames for his situation.

It’s the balance between sincerity and sincerity that elevates the film from good to great.

It’s definitely a well-made film, with director Barbakow flashing amazing pops for someone at the helm of his first play. There are fantastic-looking screenshots that embrace the environment in an interesting way (and the first 10 minutes do twice as much service, setting the scene for the film, while serving as a surprisingly effective tribute to " The Graduate, ”an unexpected delight.).
