Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2020)

I've personally never seen this as a comedy. I know there are great jokes and comedic moments throughout, but that never seemed to be the main point to me, or even the fifth. I see this as a commentary. A statement on many things. It's a commntary on how quick people will turn to crime and selfishness if there are no consequences. A statement on how pointless and empty immortality would find itself. It's a tale of self-improvement, of dedication, of how some people really do loop the same day many times over with little change to speak of. Easily my favorite thing about this film is how much of it is up to interperitation. You could see it as a mindless comedy with a cool premise like Bruce Almighty, a tale of romance, a tale of how kindess is the answer. It's never explained how the loop occurs or just how Phil escapes it, and it leaves you to fill in those blanks the way you see fit. A great comedy, romance, drama, fantasy, what have you.
