Yawn. Overrated.

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2005)

Looking for a well-written, romantic comedy starring Bill Murray? That would be Groundhog Day, which I should have watched again (for the umpteenth time) instead of this. I was amazed at how often I found myself annoyed, looking at my watch and wondering when I was going to be genuinely amused and/or moved by these characters. Some scenes seemed to end before going anywhere while others went on too long while going nowhere. I kept waiting for a payoff that never came while enduring too many missed opportunities. The rating would have been higher if not for the added disappointment due to high expectations from Bill Murray and the endless critical praise heaped on this mediocre offering.
