December 13, 2009I love Bill Murray in almost everything he does. This movie has a great premise that keeps its jokes close to the plot without overdoing it or missing any opportunities. It's a fun and good-natured film, an old-fashioned kind of fun we don't see anymore.

November 11, 2009A decent enough comedy about living the same day over and over. Cool idea although the repetition does grate after a while. If you're a fan of Bill Murray and Harold Ramis comedies this is for you.

February 9, 2007Another movie to see if you like this one is is 12:01. It was a TV made movie. Unlike in Groundhog, you discover why he is in a time loop.
Somethings of interest in the movie that I learned. One is the man that he saved from choking was his brother which seem more like his dad. The other is I wonder if it would be good if Tom Hanks was chosen instead. -
May 19, 2006A recent accident left me out of commission and more or less bed-ridden and stuck at home for most of a week. As I recovered, my wife rented movies for me to watch, including this title.
I enjoyed this piece for the protagonist, played by Bill Murray, and also for the overall concept of reliving the same day over and over again, getting the chance to rehearse and reinact situations until an optimal outcome is reached. This is a good film for those who enjoy watching characters evolve.
