Description: A jaded
Pittsburgh weatherman (Bill Murray) finds himself inexplicably trapped in a
small town as he lives the same say over and over again.
Review: Every year, in February, the
town of Punksutawney has Groundhog Day. On this day, groundhog Phil will
predict how long the winter will take. The very cynical reporter and weather
man Phil Connors is send to this event every year. Just like this year, and he
is not looking forward to it. And his co-workers Rita and Larry have to deal
with the grumpy Phil. When Phil wakes up the next day, his alarm clock is
playing the exact same song as the morning before. Outside he sees the same
cars and the same people and it’s again Groundhog Day. He is reliving the same
say, over and over again.
At first he is amazed by it and he is trying to
find a solution. But eventually Phil decides to live with his ‘handicap’. He
can learn from it, redo mistakes.
The best thing about “Groundhog Day” is off
course Bill Murray. I love his cynicism. He isn’t a likeable person at first,
but you come to love his character. A movie that relives the same day several
times, doesn’t sound interesting. But it’s executed so well. “Grounghog Day”
has great humor and is a very rewatchable movie.
