Review of Groundhog Day (1993) by Jathavan A — 28 Aug 2012

Groundhog Day, Great Movies.

Wow, I was impressed and kept smiling the whole time in this film. This is not that kind of a movie with something that we have seen before, of course there's comedy and romance, but hold on, there's a fantasy involved here. Yes, this is more of a fantasy film but to me it's more of a character study or something a character would realize and learned at the end, as to Phil, played by Bill Murray, he lives on the same Groundhog Day, over and over again. To that concept, you know that it's gonna be a lot interesting whether you know the actors or not, or anything about this Groundhog Day. As I said, Phil lives on the same place, same day, and also lives with the same people, and we meet a lot of them like Rita, his producer, and Larry, his cameraman, because Phil is a weatherman and they went to that place. Here's the most interesting part, Phil is like a god, he knows everything about what a woman likes, what could happen next in maybe 5-10 seconds, knows how to play piano, killing himself and wakes up again next day, and being close to many people he never met. Holy cow, that's shocking, well because he is living on the same day again and again, so he learns more and understands more about his strengths and weaknesses, so that next time, he's gonna win. The performances are very great, I'm just really happy to all the things that I've seen in this picture, so does Phil, at the end, he finally lives the next day, why? Just watched the whole movie and see for yourself!

Very well done movie, this is gonna be a movie that will inspire many films out there today, and if this film is not the best you've ever saw, then probably you're also like Phil, living the same day over and over again!
