It's a lighthearted teen rom-com, perfect for those moments when you need a bit of sweetness in your life. To his surprise, Margaret even has some cool things to show him that he hasn't seen before, and soon the two start building their map of all the little things that bring them joy-even if they've seen them a hundred times. When his day-to-day is all of a sudden shaken up by Margaret, he's beyond excited to have someone to share the ins and outs of life as they're stuck in a circle. While he may seem pretty happy-go-lucky, Mark also can't help but feel lonely. Luckily his spirit has not yet been broken by the repetitious cycle he still seems to have a great time fixing minor problems around his quaint little town, whether it is letting someone know where their missing keys are or shouting out "bless you" a few seconds before a stranger sneezes, Mark has the events of the day memorized. He's catching mugs about to fall, flipping butter up into the air, teasing his family by playing myna bird to their banal breakfast talk-he's clearly been through this morning countless times. What follows is a tender, funny love story.Īnna The film starts off with Mark basically performing a circus act while his dad and sister sit at the breakfast table. Mark has a lot of growing to do, and in Margaret, he finds someone other than himself to care about. Each repeated day she receives a text message and suddenly rushes off. Meanwhile, Margaret has her own travail to deal with, though it's a mystery. Like self-involved newscaster Phil (Bill Murray) in Groundhog Day, Mark has a lesson to learn, but he's nowhere near ready. His dad, Daniel (Josh Hamilton), is writing a book about the Civil War, and his mom is always driving off as soon as he wakes up. He's a standard-issue selfish teenager who bickers with his sister, Emma (Cleo Fraser), and hangs out with his bestie, Henry (Jermaine Harris). Mark is a likable guy, carefree and happy to spend his day driving construction machinery through town, trying to woo a pretty girl at the community pool by saving her from a beach ball that knocks her into the water, and doing other random things to entertain himself. Glen Like Palm Springs (2020), The Map of Tiny Perfect Things takes the Groundhog Day (1993) idea and puts its own unique spin on it. AROUND THEY GO Mark (Kyle Allen) and Margaret (Kathryn Newton) discover they're trapped in the same Groundhog Day-like time loop, in the charming YA rom-com The Map of Tiny Perfect Things, screening on Amazon Prime.
