Phil has lost his way and needs to find a reason to live life to its fullest every day because tomorrow is not promised.

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2010)

Phil is in a state of shock when he wakes up at the same time to the same song again and again. He thinks he is experiencing Déjà vu. Once Phil realizes that he can make mistakes without consequences, he uses this to his advantage by drunk driving, stealing money and scamming woman, but made no effort to make changes to his attitude or life. Every day he stepped in the same puddle because he had not made any changes to his life. This quickly turns bad, and he becomes scared at the fact he will never live to see another day so he tries several times to kill himself. He starts to make changes in his life that effects his daily interaction with everyone he encounters on February 2. He begins to become the most popular person in the town. Even so much that Rita pays $339.58 for a date with him. The character Rita is great because she is the total opposite of Phil. She always sees the positive side of things. During the movie it was dark and snowing to keep the viewer in the mindset that it is winter time. So when Phil and Rita are building a snowman and sitting in front of the fire, it is realistic. Rita falls in love with the man Phil became due to the changes he has made in his life. They wake up together and it is the next day. Groundhog Day is closing related to the Book of Eli. They both take a man on a journey through life and all its obstacles. With hard work one will be triumphant in the end. Once you learn why life is worth living, you see it in a new light, like Phil saw winter, "winter is another step in life".
