Summary: Spectacular comedy!
Review: I know we all wish we could do certain things over and over until we got it right! It was cool to watch the possibility unfold!

Summary: Exceptional with meaning at many levels.
Review: This move was a pleasant surprise. Being a Murray fan it was a must. On the surface the move is entertaining as it moves through the many stages of his dealing with being trapped in what was initially an insignificant day with insignificant people. On other levels, the movie deals with the importance of man to himself, those around him (even thoughs he only briefly interacts with), and to the brief time we all have on this earth. For those who enjoy light entertainment it is enjoyable, for those who enjoy metaphysical messages it is a must.

Summary: Keep trying until you get it right
Review: What a great movie! There have been many days when I wished I could get a "do over" and try again to say or do the right thing. Bill Murray is at his best in this comedy that really makes you think about how life works.

Summary: Crawl Out of Your Hole and See Groundhog Day!
Review: Just like other reviewers, I feel that one could watch Groundhog Dog again and again... How ironic, but maybe that's the point- to watch it until you cannot laugh anymore. Bill Murray was perfectly cast for the role of a reporter covering Groundhog Day. He is obnoxious, but has the opportunity to keep trying until he gets to get it right. Murray exceeds his Meatballs performance. Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliot are really cute too in their respective roles.Definitely make sure you see this movie, on G-hog day or any other time you need a good laugh- you might learn a little bit more about yourself too... And, you might never think about "I Got You, Babe" in the same way again- and maybe that's not such a bad thing.

Summary: A modern classic
Review: I'm surprised that this film isn't more widely recognized as a GREAT piece of filmmaking! Murray gives his widest-ranging performance ever, and the script gives him a lot to work with. The scripting and directing are extremely deft. Ramis keeps things moving at all times, covering the same (yet ever-shifting!) ground with flawless pacing and attention to detail. GROUNDHOG DAY is well worth viewing over and over and over...!

Summary: One of my favorite films.
Review: This is a sweet, fun, & surprisingly good film. It explores the idea of time repeating itself better than some stories from Asimov's. However it's a romantic comedy technically. It is rare that a movie can e touching & laugh out loud funny, but this manages it without seeming manic depressive. (Unlike that casper movie which is one of the most manic depressive films I've ever seen. I mention that to show it's not so easy to get the right balance.) This definitely gets my "Best holiday movie for stupidest holiday award" in fact it has little competition on that score. This movie is so good it actually makes me look forward to Groundhog day.

Summary: A movie worth seeing twice ... or more
Review: A sweet and funny movie about a newscaster stuck reliving Groundhog Day. The repetition of the day could be annoying, but Murry's character's personal growth throughout the process keeps it from being too much of a mindless comedy. It's a great party movie - I don't know anyone who celebrates Groundhog Day, but now we have a reason.

Summary: The most original comedy ever. Period.
Review: I would love to shake the hand of whoever came up with the idea for this film. It is by far the most original and creative comedy I have ever seen. It always surprises me when people don't name it with the usual suspects of classic comedies like Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, and The Blues Brothers. The best part is that the idea was executed flawlessly. The writing, the situations Phil is put in, and the absolute deadpan humor that Bill Murray is able to deliver are simply unparalleled. There is really nothing else to say. This film could not be improved. I find only a small amount of irony in the statement that I have seen this film over and over again, never getting tired of it.

Summary: I enjoy everyone in the cast and every scene is a delight
Review: One of my favorite multiple-watching films. I don't even want to argue whether the film is important or not, great or not, or whatever or not. It is a fun film with a pleasant love story and is full of actors I really enjoy watching. The love story is fun because it is the mirror of the normal film love story. Typically the girl hates the guy but she slowly changes to see what a great guy he is and finally falls for him. Here, Rita (Andie MacDowell - in one of my favorite of her performances) remains the same and it is Phil (Bill Murray - one of his great roles) who slowly learns who he needs to be to win Rita over and finally becomes that person. While everyone knows the plot of the story by now, I don't want to give it away to the three people left who don't know it. Just let me say that unless you think funny movies cannot have a kind soul, you will like this movie. Frankly, I get awfully tired of the oceans of witless venom passing for wit. This is a movie I am willing to watch anytime at the drop of a hat. There are so many funny scenes, but the image of Bill Murray giving driving instructions to a groundhog as the flee from panicked townsfolk is wonderful. Enjoy it!

Summary: Renaissance Man Extraordinaire - Carpe Diem
Review: There are so many messages behind this great movie with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. He is head over heals for MacDowell from the start, but as an arrogant weatherman, he seems to just tick her off from the start as well. Imagine waking up every morning and it is the same day over and over again? Well, Murray has this happen to him. Every time he does his day becomes one disaster after another until he finally gives in and figures out he can use each day to improve himself and his life a little at a time. The message here is clear. We all have a life that is made up of the same day everyday, what we choose to do with that day is really up to us. Do we want to improve our lot in life or just go along with being ourselves in a boring unfulfilled endless life that is a cycle of recurring themes? This movie shows anyone, even though it is a comedy, that each day we have a choice to make the day what it can be. Murray plays Phil Connors, on Ground Hog Day when the ground hog's name is also Phil...go figure. Connors is as arrogant as they come and he just keeps trying so hard to impress people. He goes from egotisical and self serving to seeing himself to get the girl of his dreams, Rita. It would be nice to know how many days of Ground Hog Days he spent there. You can see him go from this to a renaissance man who really cares about people, loves life and takes each day and uses it to improve himself. Rita, although the same person and not being influenced or affected by being in Ground Hog day, comes to really like Phil. This movie makes us laugh at ourselves and our humanity. And by the end of the movie, he shows that he can have a positive effect on everyone he comes in contact with. So when you hear the song, "I've Got You Babe," and the announcers saying, "It's Ground Hog Day....." remember to use the day to its fullest.
