Superb Bill Murray in ingeniously conceived comedy

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2009)

This is an ingenious comedy that turns out to have a heart. Bill Murray is simply superb as the narcissistic weather man who finds himself trapped in a bizarre twilight zone episode. Reliving each day over and over again leads to some brilliant comic set-pieces. However, its the gradual change in Murray's character and his cheerful acceptance of things which makes this film a perennial favorite of mine. There are plenty of laughs but mostly in the first hour, after which the tone changes slightly. The supporting cast are all fine and Andie Macdowell is good as the leading lady. An excellent comedy that makes you think.
Overall 9/10
