Before Jim Carrey There Was Bill Murray.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2014)

Though I'm not a big fan of Bill Murray, this film was highly entertaining and refreshing. Having missed a chance to see it in my youth, I am seeing this film for the first time in my thirties. These days I research about a film first before I see it. The concept of this film appealed to my imagination: a man repeating a specific day, Groundhog day, over and over again.
With time, this man Phil Connors(Bill Murray) learns to turn every situation and encounter to his advantage. Some may think that this guy is evil since he can toy around with anyone without getting implicated.
Bill Murray was the ideal character for this film since he is egocentric and sarcastic. His has the ability to make you laugh while remaining straight-faced. Only a few actors have this precious ability.
The other noble person in the film is actress Andie MacDowell. She plays news producer Rita Hanson (MacDowell), who is the love interest of Phil.
Will Phil ever escape this time-loop? Watch the film and find out what happens next.
