A classic of silly comedy, despite a few cringeworthy moments

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2019)

There are parts of this classic comedy where I still raise my eyes feeling a line or bit of physical comedy is overdone, but I still see it as a great movie for the silly genre where it resides. Even the title is used by people to encapsulate in a single phrase the idea of something repeating itself. (Yankee manager Joe Torre comes to mind when his team lost to the Red Sox twice in a row ina similar manner when the Sox beat them for the league championship in 2004.)
Read some of the trivia entries on this IMDB page if you have a chance. Some of them are interesting, such as the info that in the town of Woodstock, Illinois, where outdoor scenes were filmed, in two spots there are plaques to commemorate where the Phil character did something many times. (Stepping off the curb into the puddle and another clip.)
So this isn't a masterwork or anything, but a classic of its genre.
