Can watch it over and over again

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2007)

Groundhog Day is definitely one of my favorite movies.
It manages to combine comedy, romance, drama and originality in such an entertaining way that it can be watched over and over again and still be enjoyed.
Of course the main reason why the film works is Bill Murray's wonderful performance as Phil Connors. I can't think of any other actor who could have done the role justice. Murray captures not only the humor, but also lets his character grow and become much more sympathetic as the film progresses.
Harold Ramis, the director, also has to take great credit for this, as his pacing for the whole film is absolutely flawless. It's disappointing that Ramis has never come close to making this quality of film again...
Also, Andie McDowell gives by far and away her best ever performance in this movie. Her and Murray have great chemistry and she is the perfect foil for him right throughout the film.
This is truly and wonderful and uplifting film which everyone should see, and more than once!
