A comedy classic that is well written and sends a good message to viewers about self-importance

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2008)

One of the best comedies I have watched,Groundhog Day succeeds in delivering comedy through one-liners and sarcasm as well as an original storyline.Bill Murray stars as an arrogant TV weatherman from Pittsburgh who decides to travel to Punxsutawney,Pennsylvania with his producer Rita(Andie MacDowell) and cameraman Larry(Chris Elliott) in order to cover the Groundhog Day festivities in which the rest of the season's weather is determined by Punxsutawney Phil who is a groundhog.Because Phil Connors(Bill Murray) is self-centered,things go bad for him as the day repeats itself which means that Phil is stuck in a personal time warp.Because of this,it means that he doesn't have to worry about tomorrow and gives him a chance to right his wrongs.Besides a great deal of comedy,this film also sends a philosophical message to everyone watching this film that it is never too late to make your wrongs turn into rights.Because of all of this,it has become a cult classic,culturally significant and a film that will never be forgotten.It should have been nominated for at least a Best Actor Oscar for Bill Murray and a Best Original Screenplay Oscar.It is as well written as dramas such as The Truman Show and La Vita e Bella.Definitely recommended and it is Bill Murray at his best.Bravo!
