It’s nice to not be entirely disappointed by a film I was really excited about for once. Starring Andy Samberg and the mother from how I met your mother. Along with JK Simmons, one of the superman’s, the girls from riverdale and sandy from the O.C. A cool idea for a time loop movie, kinda like if someone joins Bill Murray’s loop midway through groundhog day. Super fun film, not too serious, funny, nice cast. Loved this film. I don’t really care about the characters but Jake Peralta and Tracy Mosby are great, them just giving up and doing whatever they want was just fun to watch. Just a cool film and a great idea. Probably my favourite film of 2020 so far.  Very curious about what happens after the ending though, was it the same as the first timeline or the last, also if she came back without him, would he just be missing from her new timeline or would he be there but not know who she was, and if he then decided to come back, what would it reset or would he just appear, or would the version of himself at that point suddenly remember, or maybe they redo the day all over again but this time it’s the real life, or they just reappear at the moment before they enter the cave, still it doesn’t explain what happens the the other person, also what about JK Simmons what happens to him, he’s just living the same day for the rest of eternity and we are ok with it coz he’s not a great person but he’s having a good day, like he said he never gets to see his kids grow up, what happens to them, also wtf did that nan just say about her being about to leave, I dunno I’ve confused myself it’s probably good it ended at that point.  I’ll probably watch this again.  8.6 / 10
