It's always tough coming months late to films that make a big splash on the film festival circuit. Features debuting at Sundance, Cannes, or any other big festival can generate a lot of hype at their premieres. But when they finally get released to the public months later, some films can't live up to their now-mythic stature. What was a surprise success at Tribeca is now an underwhelming experience in general release. Luckily,
Palm Springs, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews six months ago, is not an example of that phenomenon. Put simply, Palm Springs is an utterly delightful comedy whether you're watching it at a film festival or on your living room couch!
