Review of Groundhog Day (1993) by Frank J — 04 Jun 2012
An amazing movie. Groundhog Day works incredibly well as a romance film because it doesn't focus solely on cheesy, cliched romance. It throws in realism, comedy, science fiction, and a strong message into the mix.
Bill Murray plays a weather man who travels to a small Pennsylvania town to do a special on Groundhog Day. He awakens the next day only to find that time has been winded back 24 hours, as if Groundhog Day had never happened yet.
Seeing Murray react to this odd occurrence, day after day, is intriguing. The role that Murray was given fits him more than perhaps any other actor. It's one of those rare gems that get better as they go along.
It starts out extremely meh and then starts to quickly pace itself into a heavily thought-driven movie. Groundhog Day is a spotless film: you couldn't find a flaw if you tried.
