Great thoughtful comedy

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 1999)

In addition to all the praise that this movie has received from the other reviewers, I would like to point out that the philosophy of this movie runs pretty deep if you look at it carefully.
Is it just me, or does the Bill Murray's predicament in the movie seem to a metaphor for the whole Buddhist belief about reincarnation and breaking out of that never-ending cycle by letting go of desire and achieving Nirvana? Bill Murray is forced to relive the same day and he only moves on when he discovers the compassionate side of himself and stops being selfish. And, it took many many lifetimes for to do it, just as Buddhists believe we come back many many lifetimes.
Just my observation.
Regardless of at what level you choose to view this movie, it's a must see.
