A funny and very moving story that shows the truly important things in life.

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2003)

This film always entertains me and leaves me with a good outlook on life which I wish more films could do. Too many things in life and on the news can make you feel that it is all doom and gloom. This film however shows you how life should be and what the truly important things are. Most people, if they got a chance to live a day over and over would do the same things as Phil Connors, trying to make things better for themselves. However, this can just lead to rejection and frustration. Phil eventually realises that life is more rewarding when he gives to others and ends up getting all that he wants.
On top of this moral theme, there is brilliant humour. For example, when he is drunk and driving the car with the two deadbeats. After they crash the car and are stopped by the cops, they ask for an order of flapjacks.
All actors were well suited for the roles (including Phil - the groundhog). The location and music were also perfect.
This film is one you can watch over and over and over....
