It's a Wonderful Life for the modern era

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2002)

while not a christmas film like Its a Wonderful Life it shares many simarlarities with this film it that the message of the film is the same - each person makes a difference to the world around them.Whether this is a positive difference as in 'wonderful life' or a negative difference as in this film.However this film tells the message that we can all find redemption and escape from our own personal groundhog days by improving ourselves and sharing our gifts with others as George Bailey clearly does in 'Wonderful Life'.On the first couple of viewings this film can be seen as an excellant comedy showcase for Bill Murray but this film has a lot more depth than your average comedy.Moreover this is a movie that requires several viewings to fully understand the situation that Phil the weatherman has found himself in.
