Additional InformationOnce again, for the fifth year in a row, TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is forced to cover the Groundhog Day ceremonies in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, an assignment he truly despises. But this year something truly bizarre happens after he finishes the report: When he wakes up the next morning, ready to leave, he discovers it's February 2 all over again. He tries to tell his producer, Rita (Andie MacDowell), what's happening, but neither she nor anyone else understands; only he remembers that they've already lived through Groundhog Day. When the same thing happens the next morning, he thinks he's going insane and wreaks havoc all through the town. More and more mornings pass, all of them February 2, and all of them with an ever angrier Phil. Desperate to escape, he even tries suicide, but still another February 2 dawns. As he starts realizing that his exploits are not making time march on any quicker, Phil begins to change his behavior, performing a series of lifesaving tasks until he becomes a model citizen, hoping it will be enough to get him out of Punxsutawney forever. Along the way he learns more about the people around him--and himself--than he ever thought possible. The film is extremely well put together by director Harold Ramis, and the script by Danny Rubin and Ramis is sharp and clever. The actors--many of whom have to perform essentially the same scene over and over again, with only subtle differences--is a riot.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...A particularly witty and resonant comedy....A perfect character for [Murray]..., Variety - ...Murray's weatherman is tailor-made for his smug screen persona....Stephen Tobolowsky is hilarious..., USA Today - ...A wickedly yummy smarm-alade..., Entertainment Weekly - "...[Elliott] steals the laughs whenever he's in the frame..." -- Rating: A-

  • Really funny!

    Despite some repeated moments due to the nature of the story it's not at all annoying/boring like you might assume, but really funny & a very clever story line with good strong characters.

  • Good, enjoyable movie - good character development

    Cringe in the beginning of the movie at the jerk-personality of main character, but interesting creative angle to storyline. Character development holds a pleasant surprise!
