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
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.

A. Whitley (MO United States)
Bill Murray is awesome in this. I bought it as a Father's Day gift for my dad who is 63 and watches it regularly. Then I found out my 18 year old nephew loves it too. Talk about bridging the generation gap. Very cool flick!
I love this movie April 25, 2009
John Rivera (brooklyn, NY)
Hey if you love comedy (not slapstick comedy) this movie is for you. Some of Bill Murry's finest work. The main character gets trapped living the same day over and over and goes through many phases. A classic.

Bill Murray is a self-important prima donna weatherman who seems set for just one more Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney. But it's more than just one more Groundhog Day. Way more than just one boring repeat of what he's done so many times before, apparently without learning anything, as he finds himself in a learning loop.
Haven't you ever thought that the whole problem with life is that we have to make mistakes and live through them to get to where we are today?
Ever wish you could go back in time and do things right that you did wrongly? To undo the done and do the un-done? To do the done things slightly differently in some small or big way?
Me too.
But, in time, we might realize that the path we took to get here was what made us what we are today. Maybe it's good to have only one chance.
Bill Murray gets another chance. Then Bill Murray gets another chance. And then, Bill Murray gets another chance. But does he get the girl?
I've never sat down to count the chances he has. I know that I have a chance to change that. And I also know that the rest of us usually get only one chance to get things right, and then we have to live with the consequences.
I know, it's a movie, and therefore everything is probably imaginary or the result of some cinematic jiggery-pokery. Still, ice sculptures are really cool. I'd try them if I could figure out how many times I got to use the chainsaw to get it right. Preferably, only one.
Bill Murray gets to do it right, though. And, thereby, another chance to get the girl. For more info, well...
Here's a chance to see how he does.
Every Groundhog Day I think of this movie and have another chance to see it. Another Odyssey.
