Product Description
From Amazon.com
Bill Murray does warmth in 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

a bitter man find himself relieving the same day over and over again until he gets it right (4.5/5),

This review is from: Groundhog Day / Le jour de la marmorotte (Special Edition) (DVD)
this movie never loses it's charm and effect,even after repeatedviewing.it's the story of a bitter,lonely arrogant,empty man (Bill Murray)who find himself reliving the same day(Groundhog Day) over and over again.each time he goes through he begins a slow transformation until he learns what life really means.he becomes a better man for the experience.Andie MacDowell plays the love interest and Chris Elliott put in a good supporting performance.also has this movie is at it's heart a life lesson movie,a morality fable,if you will.many of these types of movies are maudlin and inspirational ad naseum.not this one.it manages to avoid going down that route.i think this is due to the strong writing and direction.Danny Rubin wrote the story,and he and Harold Ramis co wrote the screen play.Ramis also directed the film.what's also good about this film are it's light comedic touches and even some flat out hilarious moments. 4.5/5

This review is from: Groundhog Day (Special Edition) (DVD)
It is said that if we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat it. Could it be that the actors journey in this movie shows a little glimpse as to the souls journey if we assume that we have a soul? That we only really graduate once we have learned the lessons that are here on this planet and that otherwise we will just get reincarnated over and over and given another chance at learning.Initially the character, once he realises that he is "stuck" starts abusing his power and sees how he can fulfill his hedonistic desires by manipulating events and people. As he gets bored with himself and his tricks, he discovers the creative principle, and starts on the journey of serving others and contribute to life and thus he starts learning. So this movie had a strong effect on me and I rate it highly both because it a highly entertaining movie, which is well acted, but especially because of the deeper layer that is there to be seen. I would recommend the book "The Secret History of the World and How to Get Out Alive" by Laura Knight-Jadczyk, as it explores in depth the idea that life is a school, where we have the possibility to learn.
