Bill Murray plays a bored reporter who insults a down fesvitval and relives the same day, every day forever. TV riffed it later, but here it was original.

MCT:August 2, 2008A very entertaining movie, thats for sure. I love the variety of comedy that is given from the movie though. There is blatant, dark, and dry humor. Bill Murray's character is very well-developed.

funny but not worthy to watch more than twice.
and let`s not forget to thank bill murray because of his perfect performance. any other actor in his place and the movie would end up just a disaster boring experience but now it is worthy watching at least because of his acting. -

"Phil" (Bill Murray) is a Pittsburgh TV weatherman with a bad attitude. On Groundhog Day, he has to go to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover the Punxsutawney Phil ceremony.
However, this Groundhog Day is unlike any other. And it gives "Phil" a chance to change his ways.
Let me say first, even though there are slight differences each time, the repetitiveness of the scenes gets boring real quick. Only Murray's sense of humor saves these scenes, especially when they are shown back-to-back.
Out of the entire cast, Murray is the best. When we first meet "Phil," Murray makes him arrogant but pretty comical with some quick wit. He has some pretty good chemistry with Andie MacDowell, especially when her character starts to fall for "Phil" (each time he experiences the day).
The supporting cast had very little development in this movie. The only time they had any development was when "Phil" was memorizing what they told him. A lot of the development is mostly repeated when "Phil" interacts with them each time he replays the day.
The comedy mainly relies on Murray, who is his typical self. There is nothing too over the top, and doesn't produce a gut-busting laugh. The most this movie will produce is some pretty good chuckles.
The biggest problem this movie has is the repeating scenes. Although "Phil" experiences them differently after he begins to realize what is going on, they are pretty limited in what they can do while playing the scenes pretty much the same each time.
I would not put this on your "Must See" list. But if you see this on television, and there really isn't anything else on, then check this out. You won't be too disappointed. -

Youu see how creative is the story?! it is a real worthful movie. Bill Murray is absolutely shining & Andy MacDawell is exactly the girl that the story needed. same angel smile and that frown when she was sleeping! i realy liked this movie. it shows u how hard u must try (infact impossible) to have a PERFECT DAY. it also shows how many situations of doing good and helping people there is in every simple day.
and just think if there's realy no tomorrow and u have to live today over & over again what a waste of time it is! you must improve yourself and your attitude toward life in order to get to tomorrow. in other words same hinduism belief that one should care about his Karma and do no wrong in order to save his soul and get rid of circles of life.
amazing story. a real good movie with a touching & helpful love story. DOnt mIsS iT! ( its been made 15 years ago!) -

Probably the best of the Bill Murray films and the finest Rom-Com there is. Before Rom-Com gave up on the com part almost entirely and just become pink ill flavoured mush on a plastic stick (& before Andy McDowell ran the risk of developing full blown wood rot in ill judged rain scenes) this film has actual funny moments. Admittedly they are unevenly clustered in the earlier parts of the film but you can?t have everything.
If i had a day to live over and over and over again. .. ... what would i do ? it?s a interesting if simple premise, Murray?s character may always be very familiar but at least it?s layered and for those that forgive the film some of it cheese this is about as good as this type of film gets. -

As Roger Ebert pointed out in his great movie's review of Groundhog Day, it is so good, so entertaining, so fun, that its all too easy to overlook its greatness. I agree.
Groundhog Day is nothing less than a classic. It is a once in a lifetime kind of film, one that worked so well in the context of its own time period that its simply impossible to imagine the film having the same impact if it was made either 10 years earlier or ten years later. If that makes any sense. I suspect if you've seen it and loved it (which more often than not is simply the by-product of having seen it) you know what I mean.
The premise, of course, Bill Murray plays a smarmy weatherman who is forced to relive groundhog day over and over again until he comes to great realizations about the meaning what it is to live. It's not only a very funny idea, but also a deep one with philosophical and existential undertones. Yes, not only is Groundhog Day a film so enjoyable its underrated, but also underestimated.
Bill Murray is one of the funniest men to ever work in cinema, with the ability to express humor without emoting, to express subtle depth, profundity and sadness while slapsticking. Groundhog Day is one of his best outings. It's one of the few films that truly makes me nostalgic for days gone by, but optimistic for the days to come.
I realize this review is little more than a puff piece, but why waste precious time on the small trivial faults when the sum of the parts is so wonderful. It is only suiting in the context of the picture itself. -

Maybe I was expecting to much from this movie, because I was a little disapointed. The idea is extremly original, and I think they could have done a little better with the story to make it funnier. (but overall i loved it).

One of the best "passage of time" indicators in any movie:
Bill Murray signs up for piano lessons and can't put two notes together.
Later in the film, we see him playing jazz piano as a virtuoso. Great way to say that we aren't seeing all his days... he's been trapped for many years. -

Very funny movie, Bill is always good in hils role (as usual).There was a similar "Supernatural" episode to this consept of the warp hole. Back to the movie... watch it, you won't regret it.

I think its one of the best comedies ever. Bill Maurry is great and some of the stuff he does is classic.

Amazing Bill Murray and great movie with a really interesting story.
"What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered? " -

This one just get better with age (especially with viewers age). In addition to Bill Murray's brilliance the romantic comedy aspects of the film are just beautiful.

Groundhog Day (1993)
So what's it about? A weatherman finds himself living the same day over and over again
My thoughts on the movie? Cool movie, nice idea and an exceptional performance from Bill murray.
Most memorable quote:"What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered? "
Rating: 4/5

Possibly my favorite romantic comedy, Bill Murray is stupendous as he delivers his dry wit and romances the audience with every small action. A great romance for anyone bored on any day.

This film is about how a pessimistic, ignorant and self-centered man becomes a better person when he finds that he relives the same day over and over again.
At the start it was pretty slow and seems like just any mildly funny comedy, but then it becomes a perfect definition of the term 'madness'. It makes you feel sorry for the main character.
However the plot then shows how he starts to help people out and generally opening to the world, making it a better place for everybody around him.
Perhaps the movie itself is not one of the most interesting but it carries a great message. And it's a kind of movie which's ending puts a smile on your face. -

Imagine living a day.... and then reliving it over and over and over again.
That's ground-hog day. Fun. -
MCT:June 13, 2008
What would you do if you lived to same day over and over? Probably exactly the same things Bill Murray did. Funny movie, not as good as Stripes, but it's up there.

Bill Murray is the Buddha in this film, i.e, we keep coming around until we figure it out. And guess what? Sometimes life is hilarious.

A 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.posted 811 days ago
