I watched again today (on Feb. 2nd of course) just to refresh my memory of this film. The premise of the movie is unique - at least I have not run across it in another movie, but on viewing it again in 2013, I found the Feb. 2nds were going on for too long - and the inevitable e... read more

A dazzling, sweet and ofter remarkable comedy. Groundhog Day presents a criative screenplay, with a good direction and great actings; what makes a lovely movie that still make all laugh and cheer. One of the rares romantic comedys that enjoy me. Fresh.

Picture this: You're stuck in a time loop, waking up every morning at 6 a.m to Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe"; forced to re-live the same day in a seemingly endless cycle, with no one in the world to believe what you're going through. Well, that's precisely what happens to TV me... read more

Weird but good! I didn't really care for this flick even though I've known about the film since I was a kid but never e=really paid attention to it, but I always would here about 'Groundhog day' and so I decided I wanted to know what is this 'Groundhog d... read more -

Groundhog Day is both Bill Murray and Harold Ramis' best film. When the two joined for the first time in Caddyshack they made a hilarious but very silly comedy and the same applies to Ghostbusters. What they have geniusly made here is a smart, witty and sometimes silly comedy, sc... read more

Groundhog Day is awesome. An apparently modest cookie cutter comedy, it has gained fans and critical acclaim over the 20 ensuing years. It is now one of the most beloved and timeless comedies in American film history It has attained its classic status for two reasons: Its scri... read more

Critic Reviews
Murray hasn't made a comedy this winningly dumb and smart and -- yes -- sweet in a long time. If, indeed, he ever has. Full Review
A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does. Full Review
Murray's wiseacre persona is perfect for what could be saccharine material in other hands. Full Review
Even if you applaud Bill Murray's evolution from inspired comedian to minimalist seriocomic actor, it's a relief to revisit his most varied and charming role as Phil Connors. Full Review
Bill Murray is the one veteran of the Saturday Night Live/SCTV axis who still knows how to enter into a giddy conspiracy with his audience. Full Review
Considering that none of the characters is fresh or interesting, it's a commendable achievement that the quality of the storytelling alone keeps the movie watchable and likable. Full Review
[Murray] carries Groundhog Day with his uniquely frittery nonchalance and makes the movie a comic time warp anyone should be happy to get stuck in. Full Review
Ramis' direction is often too cool and restrained. He wisely avoids playing into the tale's underlying sentimentality. Full Review
Since arriving as a mild success in 1993, Groundhog Day has gradually achieved the status of beloved. The American Film Institute rates it No.34 on its list of all-time funniest movies, and it's a sto... Full Review
