Amazon.co.uk Review
Decent, lighthearted and fully amusing slapstick is hard to come by these days, and 1993's Groundhog Day manages to also be genuinely wise about the human condition. All this and belly laughs too! Bill Murray stars as Phil, a bored, petulant news reporter, who is ordered to give his annual live report from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on February 2. Though desperate to get out of the one-horse town and the appallingly sentimental assignment, Phil finds himself reliving the same day over and over again until he finally mends his ways. The film takes an absurd situation and explores its every imaginable comic possibility. Because none of the other characters are aware that Groundhog Day is continually repeating itself, Phil goes through a repertoire of responses, from conniving lust for Rita (Andie MacDowell) to gleeful nihilism to a Zen resignation worthy of Buster Keaton. Murray is reliably good, and this flick gives him a chance to be warm (though never fuzzy).

Amazon.co.uk Review
Bill Murray does warmth in Groundhog Day, his most consistently effective post-Stripes comedy, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure cooked up by screenwriter Danny Rubin is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it's Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. He squeezes all the available juice out of every scene. Without forcing the issue, he makes us understand why this fly-away personality responds so intensely to the radiant sanity of the TV producer played by Andie MacDowell. The blissfully clueless Chris Elliott (Cabin Boy) is Murray's nudnik cameraman. --David Chute, Amazon.com

Again......" , 8 Sep 2006 By  Tim Bentley (Shetland, UK) - See all my reviews    Every now and again you see a movie that acts as the perfect vehicle for an actor. In Groundhog Day we see Bill Murray's. The movie is replete with fine performances from the man ably supported by the likes of Chris Elliott and Andie Macdowell, but the film is Bill's and his alone. The story is basically what would you do if you could repeat the same day over and over again? What would it do to you? Would you turn it to your advantage? Or What? Bill Murray as TV Weatherman Phil Connors is stuck in a loop forever repeating "Groundhog Day" the day he meets Punxsutawney Phil the weather sensing Groundhog. Connors goes from surprised bafflement at the repeating of the day though euphoria, depression and then sublime acceptance. The movie at no time even dares to explain why he's repeating the day, and in my opinion had it done so it would have spoiled the film - Groundhog Day focuses on Phil Connors and the story of the man. I loved this movie and I watch it again and again and again......  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Ever thought what would be possible if you got trapped in time? Well this is it. Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell are fantastic in their parts of a depressed weatherman and the woman he falls in love with. As the film progresses you see more and more of the way Harold Ramis has fantasised about having an endless day, and the humour in the film is sublime. I particularly enjoyed watching Murray's character develop within the small US community, and with fantastic fillers such as Ned and Larry, how could you resist? MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THIS FILM ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE GOOD EASY COMEDY.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Personally, I am not a big fan of Andie MacDowell and I think the film would have worked with anyone else, but it could not have worked without Murray. Lots of subtle humour and not so subtle egotism are gradually overcome by a greater good as each day repeats. Should we all be that fortunate to go back and relive each day until we got it right - a salutory lesson for us all indeed. Overall, an excellent film.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 52 customer reviews...
