A cynical TV weatherman, along with his idealistic producer and his sardonic cameraman, is sent to report on Groundhog Day in the small town of Punxsutawney, where he finds himself repeating the same day over and over.
"He’s having the worst day of his life… Over and over again."
Funny story done to fit on Bill Murray's shoes.
It is good enough and with a moral for the family but I don't get it what this is such a famous movie....
I can watch this movie again and again and again. Just trying to imagine what I would do in such a situation. And who doesn't like groundhogs?...
**The Future is Not a Given**
_Groundhog Day_ sets out to accomplish the inconceivable, where few comedies, or movies of any kind, or art forms of any device dare to tread. It is determined to ultimately answer: How does one find true happiness. The kind of baby that might have been hatched by crossing Woody Allen and Dali Lama. What's truly amazing is that it pretty well achieves this without being pretentious or portentous. Its humble, pedestrian style coincides with it's charitable message. Furthermore, it's a riot!
What do you do when the snowstorm of life traps you into a place you ...
Fantastic watch, will watch again, and do recommend.
Bill Murray carries this time-shift-loop adventure in hilarious form. The writing is excellent with a "redeemable protagonist" trope mixed in.
The movie is creative with it's divergent time lines and even manages to maintain proper story arcs as Phil continues to loop.
The supporting cast is wonderful in each of their roles, and manage to do repeat acting excellently.
This was a popularizing (if not a birth) to a genre, everyone should have watched this movie at some point....

“Groundhog Day” (1993) is a dramedy/fantasy with some romance about a person who has lost the joy of living and become a cranky, arrogant jerk. Is he too far...
