At this point has anyone NOT seen Groundhog Day. If you haven't, queue her up! This is one of the few movies that hit me as an all time great as I was walking out of the theater. Usually movies have to sink in for me, and I would love to see it for the first time again. The high concept is good, a man keeps reliving the same day over and over again, and it works very well as a clever light comedy. Bill Murray and the cast are engaging and funny, and the hook has endless comic possibilities. But this movie has more going on than that. It plumbs the concept to its logical conclusions, never cheats, and provokes deeper questions that stick with you after the credits. What would someone do if there were no consequences to their actions? What makes a good person if it doesn't matter what you do? What would happiness mean if there was no hope for long term relationships? That's some pretty heady stuff for a light romantic comedy. But don't let my pretentious philosophical musings turn you off from this movie. It's a bright comedy that just sticks to the ribs more than most movies do. Six stars, three thumbs up.

Funny movie that makes you think
I found the scenes repeating over and over a bit annoying, but overall this movie is clever and interesting disguised as a silly comedy.

such a lovely and amusing story
There's a good chance I'll lose my sanity if I have to watch it again too soon, with all those repeating scenes. But it doesn't really matter, Bill Murray gives one of his best performances, and his chemistry with Andie MacDowell is well shown....

Does this gene fit Groundhog Day?
