One of Bill Murray's all time best efforts

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2003)

Most of his career, Murray has epitomized that horrible, simplistic, overdone slapstick type of humor which Americans seem to be obsessed by and those of us in the rest of the world, well, it can make our skin crawl, to be honest. In two great movies, Murray rises above that infantile "finger up yer nose" stuff and really turns in a complex and brilliant performance, one such is "What about Bob?" with Richard Dreyfuss and the other is "Groundhog Day." Unlike such lame, childish crap as "Caddy Shack," this is simply one of the funniest movies ever made and proves that, like Jim Carrey, when Bill plays it "straight," he can really shine. Not only is this one worth seeing, it is worth seeing over and over and over and over........
