good movie, but a little over rated

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2019)

I thought this was a good movie, just a little over rated for its title. Currently at 8 stars? Spare me. It was good at its time, but apparently people can over look its flaws, and move past that. That's a good thing. My main complaint with Groundhog Day? Too predictable. We all know he's going to get the girl at the end, so why drag it out. Groundhog Day just becomes a repetitive parade of nonsense events, the same thing happening every day, the only thing different happening is Murrays character, under the realization that he's living the same day over and over. So it doesn't matter what he does, he's going to wake up, and live February 2 all over again. It's funny at first, but then quickly becomes tiresome, and of course, they can't base the entire film about this, so we'll add the "boy likes girl, girl gets boy" formula, and everybody will be okay with this. Well. It worked. Groundhog Day is a fun, great, family afternoon film from 1993, and Bill Murray and Andie McDowell steal 90 percent of the show. Sometimes, just sometimes, I think that's a bad thing. I think they hogged all the action. If you haven't seen this, I recommend it.
