He's having the day of his life…over and over again.
A weatherman (Bill Murray) is trapped in a personal time warp on the worst day of his life. Co-stars Andie MacDowell. A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting “rat” (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the ‘following’ day he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day.
Critic Reviews:
- “Murray hasn't made a comedy this winningly dumb and smart and – yes – sweet in a long time. If, indeed, he ever has.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
- “A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does.” – Orlando Sentinel
- “Harold Ramis's direction is nothing special, yet there is a beautiful, lip-smacking efficiency in the way that a great idea is touched off and followed to its conclusion” – Independent (UK)
