MODERATORS
We watched the map of tiny perfect things on Amazon prime. A really wholesome groundhog day meets romance, with a romance significantly better than groundhog day btw.
Sounds nice!
That's a good one. Definitely agree on the romance side.
Groundhog Day is one of my favorites. I like the romance in it but implications of off screen events do a lot of heavy lifting. Phil spends years getting to know Rita, has many intimate conversations with her (e.g. boathouse), invests time into her interests (French poetry), and does this without reciprocation (resets, slaps). While it starts off expecting a payoff, it turns into genuine understanding, admiration, and affection.
That being said, it is very one-sided. Rita has no reason to fall for him in the single day she experienced even though the audience knows how amazing his change has been. She doesn't really have an arc and is already a fully developed person, so it feels like she's just there to help with Phil's arc.
I've added Map to my list and I'm looking forward to a different type of romance in it, so thank you for the recommendation!
