Groundhog day is a cleverly written comedy that follows Phil Corners (Bill Murray) a weatherman who travels with his producer and cameraman to the small town of Punxsutawney to do a news report on a groundhog day tradition he begrudgingly does the report and makes it through the day hating every minute of it but at the end of the day when he falls asleep and wakes up reliving the exact same day again groundhog day at first he thinks it was all dream but every day at 6am he wakes up in his hotel bed to the same day over and over again but he decides to have some fun with the power he has seducing women drinking and eating anything he wants stealing crashing cars etc but no matter what he does the just just resets and begins again and again same place same time before long he sees this as less a gift of time and more like purgatory forced to relive the same day over nothing changing going to the extreme to try to end it but nothing changes still and he begins to seriously question his sanity his existence and his life choices but unlike other people he has the all the time in world to become a better person.

Groundhog day is unlike any comedy you have seen before the story is unique and thought provoking and the comedy shifts in tone throughout starting out quite light hearted and sarcastic then mid way through shifting the tone to a more serious and dark comedy making you laugh while also making you think about what you would do if faced with the same situation cleverly written and with Bill Murray as the star your guaranteed to laugh.
If by some miracle you haven't already seen this classic movie I urge you to watch it weither you like Bill Murray or not you will love this movie and find yourself laughing and crying till the end.
