Groundhog Day should be repeated endlessly!

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2005)

Groundhog Day is a film that I have loved since I was maybe twelve. It is just so memorable and funny. The story, that a man has to relive the same day over and over makes for a great movie. Of course, casting Bill Murray helped the film-he delivered the lines with the correct facial expressions and air. I thought it was good that the film started Murray off as a somewhat bitter(or mean)weather man who thinks he is a celebrity. Phil Connors treats everyone as if they are there to do his bidding. The trip to Punxsawtawnee changes Phil's life and his perception of life.
I really liked the way the film developed the story. Every day that passes (even though each passing day is the same day)changes Phil. At first he is in disbelief; then he is awed at the things he can get away with (mostly theft);then he is desperate to end his misery;and then finally, he tries to use his situation to better the life of the people in Punxsawtawnee. He learned that once he got to really know people and to help them any way he could, he could make his own life better.
These are the reasons why I really like Groundhog Day. Every time I watch it, I always enjoy it.
