One of Murray's (and Ramis') best comedies

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2003)

GROUNDHOG DAY (1993) ***1/2 Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, Ric Ducommon, Rick Overton, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brian Doyle-Murray. Sidesplittingly funny Capraesque screwball comedy a la "The Twilight Zone". Egotistically and morally bankrupt weatherman Murray makes pilgrimage to Punxsutawney, PA to cover Groundhog Day. Murray is hilarious as the self-centered jerk who has more than one chance to see the error of his ways and plays it to the hilt. Any film that offers hell on earth with "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher can't be all that bad. Expertly directed by Harold Ramis.
