Il giorno perfetto

I have to agree with other reviewers.. This is not a rom-com. Could be a dark comedy... But it is a (romatic?) drama. And it delivers.

I can see the hate on most of the low rated reviews, not sure if towards Pete or Kaley. Looks like those viewers are expecting to chuckle with anything with Pete on it. (or Kaley for that matter).

Some clearly dont event understand depression.

Yes, there is a time loop here (not a spoiler), but thats not even the point of the movie. If you are trying to make sense of that, you are watching the wrong kind of movie.

Most of us have suffered heartache from broken relationships. Some of us, Feeling alone. And some desperation to fit in a world that doesnt understand us.

You should watch this movie knowing it is an exploration of dark emotions. It might trigger you on some topics, but im almost positive you will end with an uplifting sensation.

And for those complaining of making sense... Time travel never makes sense. Thats a fact.

I was sceptical about the pitch. I was expecting a cheap sci-fi time loop story with a female main character to add some kind of easy romantic lines, just goodish enough to have something playing on while doing something else but in fact no, it was quite interesting and I enjoyed it entirely.

The trailer is actually very deceiving because :

• If you want sci fi, you will be disappointed
• If you want a comedy, you won't laugh a lot
• If you want romance, well it is served with a sadness topping

Instead you will get a quite clever psychological story about a girl trying to run from her life through her obsession about a man. It is moving, and generic enough for most of us to identify to. The genre mixing is clever, the sci fy bit is a nice allegory, the comedy side gives some rythme and the drama brings some depth. Congratulations to Noga Pnueli for the story and to Kaley Cuoco, her part is basically the whole movie and she did it well.

My disappointment comes from the feeling of tight schedules and fast editing. There are some very good ideas and a good bas for more twists. A bit more time, work and probably money could have made this movie amazing. Anyway, it was a great surprise and that is rare enough to be saluted.

I love Pete Davidson I'd totally hangout with him and Kaley Coco is great! Kinda clever how it's about a tanning bed that time travels and charming romance throughout a fair amount of mental illness mashed in well. I'd love to experience the charm the 2 leads seem to go it's fascinating even it's slightly dark all the cute bonding is a genius flow of events. Not much comedy only a couple silly bits, sweet, great stories, and wow this isn't what I expected it stays interesting regardless of what others said I don't think it's slow, it's brilliant fun! The poop out the end of a rainbow reference is a awesome line, I'm glad I put this on.

This movie comes off as something the studio had in mind to package and sell as a romantic comedy, when in actuality it tackles much deeper issues and themes. By the end of the viewing what I had expected to be an affair full of predictable ups and downs with the familiar "Will they, won't they?" tropes turned out to be a journey of nihilistic existentialism that bordered on becoming a really good philosophical film. Had the filmmakers and studios decided to lean more heavily into the artistic side of this movie it could have very well been another Mr. Nobody, which similarly explored deep philosophical questions while bringing us on a journey of two star crossed lovers who were destined to be together, but had to go through hell and back to get there.

A surprising turn of events that turned something that promised a generic experience into something with substance!

Firstly, if you haven't realised by now that going into a movie with very specific expectations based on a synopsis or trailer is a bad idea, I just don't know what to tell you. Reviews are hardly any more reliable but I'm going to try anyway....

Now we have that out of the way -

As others have mentioned, this isn't a rom com. It isn't really a comedy in general; there are genuinely humorous moments (think wry grin as opposed to outright laughter) but the film is not trying hard to be funny as its main objective. It's also not a sci-fi. The time machine essentially serves as a McGuffin, it facilitates the telling of the story but is not central to the actual message of the story. Pulp fiction was not about what is inside the briefcase, and this is not a movie about time travel. It's about emotional baggage, mental health, love and the futility of trying to force someone else to change.

This is one of the better movies I've seen in quite a while. The acting, dialogue and cinematography are great. The plot is smart without trying too hard (Christopher Nolan, I'm looking at you) and deftly tackles some moderately dark subject matter in a tasteful and realistic way.

I hope I've convinced you to give it a try. If not, I'll come back tomorrow and perhaps then it'll work...
