A perfect tale of redemption

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 1999)

I am totally flabbergasted and delighted to see the amazing number of comments here that agree with me that Groundhog Day is one of the greatest films ever made - yup, pure and simple it is right there at the top. The redemption of a slime-ball weatherman who will become a first class mensch is so like the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and is so well done without heavy moralizing or propagandizing. Bravo to a first class team who made this first class movie. Yes, I can watch this movie over and over again and enjoy it even more than the first time.
Bill Murray"s character's sense of utter desolation is priceless when he says ,"And the worst of it is that tomorrow you will not even remember this.." He brings to us this message of how important it is to avoid that tragedy of a meaningless life.
This is a great movie indeed.
