One of the greatest comedies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2014)

This movie has everything! It's hilarious, at times touching and has one of the most ingenious story lines ever written. As an added bonus, it's got Bill Murray in it, and man does he deliver.
So the plot concerns a weatherman (Bill Murray) who covers 'Groundhog Day' as a news story every year. He spends most of his time being cynical, insulting and generally dislikeable...until he gets the wake up call of a lifetime. After spending the worst day of his life in a town that he hates, he begins to repeat the same day over and over again. Caught in a seemingly endless time loop, he begins to see this as a chance to do all the bad things that he's always wanted to do without consequence, but eventually realises that he must change his ways if he is to escape.
Overall, this is one of my favourite films of all time and serves as an example of the perfect comedy. Perfectly plotted and consistently funny, this Scrooge-like tale is ultimately uplifting and provides a good message about the power of being an all-round good person.
