Not Bad, But Still Far From a Great Film

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2001)

Bill Murray cannot seem to move forward with his life as he keeps re-living groundhog day over and over until he finally gets it right. The film is overall a smart comedy with some good messages, but it never really dazzled me. In fact the film got down-right tedious a few times as I felt I was stuck in neutral watching Murray doing the same things over and over. Chris Elliott, Andie MacDowell, and Brian Doyle-Murray (Bill's real-life older brother) are all good in supporting turns. Above average, but once again nothing really special. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
