Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Do you ever have deja vu? Didn't you just ask me that? Bill Murray is at his wry, wisecracking bestin this riotous romantic comedy about a weatherman caught in a personal time warp on the worst day of his life. Teamed with a relentlessly cheerful producer (Andie MacDowell) and a smart-aleck cameraman (Chris Elliott), TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania,to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. But on his way out of town, Phil is caught in a giant blizzard, which he failed to predict, and finds himself stuck in small-town hell. Just when thingscouldn't get worse, they get worse; Phil wakes the next morning to find it's Groundhog Day all overagain... and again... and again.

Amazon.com:
Bill Murray does warmth in his most consistently effective post-Stripes comedy, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure cooked up by screenwriter Danny Rubin is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it's Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. He squeezes all the available juice out of every scene. Without forcing the issue, he makes us understand why this fly-away personality responds so intensely to the radiant sanity of the TV producer played by Andie MacDowell. The blissfully clueless Chris Elliott (Cabin Boy) is Murray's nudnik cameraman. --David Chute

Rating:

- One of my favorite movies.
This movie really grows on you. The first time I saw it, it was okay but the more I thought about the concept and re-watched it, it quickly became one of my favorite movies. Even now, I think about what I'd do if it were "groundhog day"...I love this movie and I really recommend it.

Rating:

- Effortlessly funny, Unpretentiously smart, and Surprisingly deep and touching
This movie is probably not for everyone, although I would recommend that most people try it. I think it takes a certain degree of inclination towards patient "moral" narratives to appreciate it deeply. For instance, those who only watch romantic comedies because they are expecting either gags (such as one could find in, say, "What about Bob") or linear romance with simple ups and downs (perhaps based on the theme of romantic destiny), those will probably not have the patience for it. Other than that, ... Read More

- Solid
an oldie but goodie if you like the "what if" scenario. I like the old "What a Wonderful Life", "Mr. Destiny", etc. theme.

- great moviei
i love this movie. it's timeless :) it's about a guy who wakes up every morning to find it is the same day ... though he is the only one effected. he plays around with it at first, but then gets really depressed by it. He doesn't get to move on until he, basically, changes who he is within and without. lots of laughs, but also a pretty good message :)
