Film lovers are being urged to watch one of the most underrated comedies of all time that 'not enough have seen'.

With the Christmas season fast approaching, a lot of people will be having time off work and school for a bit of downtime.

And while a festive flick is a great option around Christmas time, it's sometimes nice to stick on a non-Christmas movie to break it up.

If you've a fan of comedy films, then this particular movie should be right up your street - and based on its Rotten Tomatoes score, critics love it too.

Palm Springs, which released at the height of the pandemic in 2020, sees two characters, Nyles and Sarah, develop a romance as they replay the same day as a wedding guest over and over again.

The comedy stars the likes of Cristin Milioti, Andy Samberg, Camila Mendes, Meredith Hagner and Tyler Hoechlin, while Max Barbakow headed up the directional side.

The movie has become the hot topic of conversation on the 'HBO Film Fans' Facebook group, with many urging those who haven't watched Palm Springs before to give it a go.

"Watched this during the pandemic when I was quarantined and it's now one of my favorite movies," one person asked.

Another argued that 'not enough have seen' the movie, while a third quipped: "Like Adam and Christine, thought the movie was fun, but really it was just a knock off of Groundhog Day in California versus western Pennsylvania in winter."

Meanwhile, a fourth remarked: "I’ve watched this movie so many times. I love it! Top 10 all time."

Palm Springs sits at an hugely impressive 94 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, making it a must watch for any comedy fans.

Esther Zuckerman, from Thrillist, wrote in a review: "Palm Springs builds on the concept's legacy by using it to examine negotiations between two people instead of a path for self-betterment."

The Times' Kevin Maher remarked: "The boredom, the dread and the existential terror. It's all there. Only this time it's funny."

While the Globe and Mail's Barry Hertz said: "As Nyles and Sarah adjust to a life where consequences no longer exist, the two performers make you believe that, actually, everything the two characters do matters."

Wenlei Ma in a review for News.com.au dubbed it 'one of the year's best films' thanks to its 'charm, heart and hilarity'.

Palm Springs is available to stream on Prime Video.
