A perfect metaphor told just right

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2020)

Many refer to this film as a unique metaphor and a sort of balance in the universe.
Philosophy aside, the masterful story shape is met with actors, and production at the height of their craft. Bill Murray, Andie McDowell...and Harold Ramis- and an overgrown rat telling the weather.

This is one of several films from the 1990s that counterbalanced the cynicism of that decade with a reminder that there were some important things in life and that we need to review our priorities.
For me this is a classic film, especially for the holidays, which balanced drama and comedy and yes even some practical philosophy and made for a perfect story. As polished as clockwork, a film with a heart that speaks across the generations.
And it's great fun and you even feel good at the end of it while at the same time gives you pause for thought.
Not to be missed. Don't wait for the holidays.
