Review of Groundhog Day (1993) by Bob S — 02 Feb 2012
This film ranks top among all the great comedies that Ramis and Murray made (yes, even Caddyshack). The movie can be viewed over countless times with equal enjoyment and you can pick up new snippets of dialogue and other small nuances with each viewing.
The concept of reliving the same day over and over is solid in its own respect, but to make that happen on such an inconspicuous "holiday"? is genius. February 2nd now holds this indelible bond with its namesake film.
It's endless amusement watching Phil Connors (played by Murray and not to be confused with the star groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil) get caught up in so much small-town craziness as he relives the day over and over.
None of Phil's encounters are as memorable as when he runs into former classmate turned insurance salesman Ned Ryerson. Bing!
