As some other reviewers have commented, this movie starts out a little rough. However, it's worth pushing through the cringe of all-too-relatable awkwardness, assuming you're not looking for a serious film.
It's wacky, there are hijinks, there are dumb Australian jokes and references you won't understand unless you grew up here, and there's romance. Sure, the science behind the premise is extremely questionable, but it's a rom-com, folks. It's not trying to be accurate, it's trying to tell a funny story about two humans experiencing character development - and it does that really well.
The two movies are completely different, but if you enjoyed Palm Springs (and its wacky romance set in improbable circumstances) you'll probably like this too.
