sam ( matthew broderick ) is an astronomer in a small american town and engaged to teacher linda ( kelly preston ) .
he is head over heels in love and lindas sudden departure to new york city to live with her new lover anton ( tch ? ky karyo ) comes as a complete surprise to him .
but as we all know love is blind and so sam leaves for new york as well to win her back .
he moves into an abandoned house across the street from anton 's apartment and installs a camera obscura to watch them .
suddenly anton 's ex maggie shows up , but she does not want her former lover back .
on the contrary , all she wants to do is vaporize him .
she may say that she does n't want to kill him , but the possibility does n't bother her too much either .
after all , people die every day .
in spite of their different motives the two team up and fall for each other as things move on .
the story sounds like something we all have seen a million times .
but we have n't .
griffin dunne brings us the most charming comedy
since " while you where sleeping " .
the camera obscura adds a " special something " to the movie and makes it an exceptional romantic comedy .
everything about the movie is perfect , from set design to casting .
the dialogues are inspired and the touches of black humor add a certain bite .
meg ryan , known from " when harry met sally " or " sleepless in seattle " , surprises in a role that may finally help her get rid of her sweet little girl image .
she impresses the viewer as a maneating biker girl .
even more surprising is the fact that the viewer believes her , much more so than in last years " courage under fire " where she played a gulf war pilot .
matthew broderick is the goodnatured and somewhat naive sam who has trouble accepting reality .
the viewer can tell that he does n't only watch the stars but also tries to reach out for them .
he has trouble keeping in touch with reality .
after all , who would leave everything behind to chase a lost love ?
his naivet ? that we do n't question for a minute throughout the movie clashes with maggies exaggerated wish for revenge .
she would do anything to harm anton .
she does n't hesitate to use sam for her plan and makes him understand right from the beginning that nothing will happen between the two of them .
that makes the scenes when they innocently share a bed , have potatoe chips and watch the action across the street like a saturday night show on tv even funnier .
tch ?
ky karyo is perfect as anton .
he is , well , repulsive .
that 's all there is to say about him .
you ca n't really manage to pity him , even after all his mishaps .
he not only took sam 's bride away from him , he is also a french chef .
worlds collide , i .
e .
the usa and france .
this can only go wrong .
even if maggies revenge schemes are at times shocking , you just ca n't sympathize with a man who plays " je t'aime . . .
moi non plus " on his tape deck .
not everyone is captured by the french charme that linda and even maggie fell for .
sam certainly is n't . too bad for anton .
for him things take a turn to the worse .
" addicted to love " is one of this year 's most pleasant surprises .

synopsis : back - up quarterback moxxon becomes starting quarterback midway through his senior year of high school , even though he 'd rather read " slaughterhouse five " than the playbook .
evil football coach kilmer throws away moxxon 's book , though , while the evil team physician injects painkillers into the players .
in the meantime , moxxon 's kid brother forms a cult , and a bubblegum - blond cheerleader smears whip cream on herself to seduce the new star quarterback .
comments :
since i usually review horror and science fiction films , i feel a little out of my league discussing this teen football movie .
( pun intended .
thank you ! )
varsity blues was produced by mtv , and it really shows .
several extended scenes allow for a continual soundtrack of mediocre pop songs meant to appeal to the adolescent male audience this crap was intended for .
the teenagers all have reasons for their melodramatic angst .
the adults all have problems , of course , and ,
as one - dimensional characters , they are all fanatically obssessed with how their local high school football team performs .
yes , this movie represents high school life in mtv - land .
this is a land where your health teacher is also a part - time stripper , your ice cream store attendant girlfriend wears an egyptian ankh around her neck , your kid brother forms a " cute " cult , your football coach is an uncaring , obssessive madman , and your friends ' lives consist of nothing but getting laid and driving around in cop cars naked .
all you , as the main character , want to do , however , is read " slaughterhouse five " and attend brown university in the fall .
well , at least this is a little more realistic than mtv 's " the real world .
" varsity blues stars james van der beek , this week 's teen tv star making the leap to the big screen .
he plays the hick moxxon adequately , though some of his emotional dialogue will make people chuckle .
( " you dawn't own mah life !
" who would want to ? )
jon voight ,
the stock evil guy in countless other movies , is , surprise , the stock evil guy here .
but is he really evil , or is he a product of society ? after all , everybody , young and old , in this movie has no life whatsoever and do nothing but obssess over high school football .
maybe the pressures of the 90 screaming fans at the football field drove evil coach kilmer evil .
the film 's screenplay never answers this burning question .
at times , iliff 's story does show glimmers of touching or humorous scenes , but , before the audience gets their hopes up that there might be something redeeming in this movie ,
they get trashed with another lengthy party sequence or overwrought football game .
the movie 's pacing is slow , and the plot turns are mindnumbingly obvious from start to finish .
i suppose i 'm being a little hard on varsity blues .
maybe i 'm just a little miffed that i had to pay 3 bucks to see it , even though it was dollar night at the cinema .
something about a request from the studio made the theater charge more money .
i found the film oftentimes ludicrous and boring .
three guys in front of us smuggled beer into the the theater .
i wished i had thought of that .
alcohol , lots of it , may have helped the viewing experience .

in this good natured , pleasent and easy going comedy , bill murray ( ghostbusters , 1984 ) plays grumpy weatherman phil conners , who , every year , is sent to punxsutawney , p. a , to report on groundhog day .
the groundhog day ceremony involves a groundhog being lifted out of a box , and if he dosen't see a shadow , it will be an early spring .
phil really hates the ceremony , and not even his producer rita ( macdowell ) can change his mind .
however , fate has a cruel trick for phil , and he starts re - living groundhog day over , and over , and over , until he gradually likes it , and rita falls in love with him .
groundhog day is a well written , totatly unoffensive and funny comedy .
the screenwriters , director ramis and danny rubin , have written a funny , warm , but never overly senitmental comedy .
although the idea of a day repeating over and over may sound tedious , there are enough good jokes to hold the audiences attention throughout the whole film .
ramis 's direction also helps , and although he dosen't try any flash director tricks , the film is directed well enough , and the jokes are set up well .
and the editing is also good , especially when it shows one part of the day over , and over again , such as when phil tries to have the perfect night with rita .
the performances are also excellent .
bill murray is great fun , and his transistion from cynical to happy is smooth , and delivers his lines in his usual smary style .
andie macdowell is good as rita , although sometimes she is just a little bit too sweet in some parts of the film .
there is chemistry between the two leads , thankfully ,
otherwise the whole film would probably fall part .
chris elliot , as the cameraman larry , is also funny ,
although you have to like his goofy style , otherwise you are really going to hate him throughout this film , and it will lower your enjoyment of the film overall .
the supporting cast are n't bad either , with stephen tobolowsky hillarous as phils old school mate ned ryanson , and even director ramis popping up as a neurologist .
in fact , there is not one dud performance in this film , and even the groundhog gets a funny scene involving a car chase .
overall , there is really nothing wrong with groundhog day at all .
it almost seems perfect .
however , the film can get a bit soppy sometimes , and some people may get irritated by the day repeating over , and over , and over , and over .
also , there 's not much of an music score , and the music there is is pretty bad .
but these criticisms hardly affect the audiences enjoyment at all .
overall , then , groundhog day is a funny , smart , and also has some room in there for some heart .
an excellent comedy .
