My humble Groundhog Day opinion

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2005)

I really like this movie.....I saw it years after it came out, and I admit "The Razor's Edge" (also a Bill Murray movie) is another of my favorites. However, I think that for some reason, the people that gravitate toward this film also tend to be "karma sympathizers", slightly Hindu, or at least appreciate the spiritual parallels.If someone as cynical as Bill (Phil) can be redeemed on the day where for thousands of years, a small little animal has to choose between the dark and the light, than anyone watching knows they too can go out and be a better person. I had forgotten it was Paxsutawney Phil's day to shine till I looked at the news today, but just remembering that film, and its story line makes me want to go out and do something nice for my kids today. Maybe we'll go get cocoa before dance lessons- the sun is shining here! Happy Candlemas/Groundhog day to all...MM
