Excellent, Thought-Provoking Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2010)

Groundhog Day is the story of Phil Connors, played by Bill Murray, a egocentric weatherman whose life is in a constant loop in which he continuously repeats the same day, over and over. While the experiences he has in these loops are hilarious, ultimately, its a movie of redemption that will make it one to endure for the ages. Written by Danny Rubin, the film has been prescribed by psychiatrists to their patients and has been the source of essays on the fundamental tenets of many major religions. I found an interview recently with Danny Rubin where he talks about how the film grew into the remarkably famous film it is today, and just had to re-watch it. Here's the interview if you're interested. http://bigthink.com/dannyrubin
