Bill Murray is at his wisecracking best in this riotous romantic comedy about a weatherman caught in a personal time warp on the worst day of his life! Teamed with a relentlessly cheery producer (Annie MacDowell) and a smart aleck cameraman, TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. On his way out of town, Phil is caught in a giant blizzard - which he himself actually failed to predict - and finds himself stuck in a small town hell. Just when things couldn't get worse... they do! Phil wakes the next morning to find that it's Groundhog Day all over again... and again... and again.

Groundhog Day review by Alex D.
Groundhog Day....the ultimate feel-good rom-com!?

I consider Groundhog Day of its genre (feel-good romantic comedies) to be right up there with old greats such as 'His Girl Friday', 'Adam's Rib' etc... Danny Rubin's & Harold Ramis' witty and intelligent script (despite many improbabilities) keeps the pace of the film going like a train for it's 1 hour 40 minute run-time. Bill Murray steals the show with a stellar, career-topping performance. This is undisputably the best film he has ever acted in, as it exploits fully his abilities as a comedic performer. The rest of the cast is solid through out. This is my personal favourite film of its genre (feel-good, romantic, comedy) by far!! I find the majority of this genre of Hollywood movies to be sickly sweet, corny, tiresome, unoriginal, inferior rehashing of old classics. But I think this film breaks the mould; due to its superb script & perfect performance from Murray! If you haven't already seen it; I strongly urge you to do so IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Groundhog Day review by RP
Laugh-out-loud funny

Stuck in a time loop in a small town in upstate Pennsylvania, TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is doomed to re-live the same February day over and over and over again. How long? Seems to be 10 years+ of the same old, same old day, with the same old local characters – until he knows them, and himself, inside out. Despite the science fiction scenario, the film is a laugh-out-loud funny romance with Andie McDowell providing the love interest. Perhaps I've had a groundhog day experience too – I've seen the film many times now and it still makes me laugh. Great stuff – 5/5 stars. [Aside: Yes, Groundhog Day exists, Punxutawney exists (although the movie wasn't filmed there), and yes, the USA has some very strange customs...]

Groundhog Day review by Matt Wood
Original Romatic Comedy (don't get too many of these!)

Groundhog day has got to be a classic film and one of the best films that Bill Murray has ever starred in. The concept of the film is great, it's hard to get tired of it as you can watch it over and over again.. it's cold out there.. Phil? Phil Conners? is that you?...
