thoroughly entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2004)

Groundhog Day is a thoroughly entertaining look at one man's selfish and imperfect life and his misadventures as he attempts to make it (and himself) better. Bill Murray and Geena Davis did a great job entertaining us in this film. The chemistry between them was fun and exciting, and the cast of unusual characters from small town USA added greatly to the humor of the situation. The premise of the story was almost believable in a happily ever after kind of world. I found myself hoping that Bill Murray's character would finally get it right even as I watched him struggle to overcome his personality flaws and screw up time and again. How wonderful it would be if we all had the opportunity to start over (and over and over and over) until we get it right.
