Review of Groundhog Day (1993) by Denis S — 01 Jun 2018
It's just charming how Harold Ramis directed this comedy which shows the real comedic talent of Bill Murray. He is not just delivering some funny script lines, he's performing with his full body.
It's funny when he looks, when he reacts, when he wakes up (every morning). That's something which is missing from comedies nowadays. And Groundhog Day doesn't need to explain everything to us.
Murrays weatherman ist reliving the same day again and again. Why? We don't know. But it's not relevant for the story. Reitman focuses on Murray and on the recurring events that vary from time to time.
This is definitely one of Murrays classics (along with Scrooged).
