“How would it feel to wake up to the same day every day? Would you crack up at the sheer tedium of it all? Cynically exploit others (they don't know they're trapped in a time warp) with what you learned about them the day before? Or use the situation to better yourself? That's the dilemma facing misanthropic TV weatherman Phil Connors (Murray) when he once more visits the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania — 'weather capital of the world' — to report on its annual Groundhog Day ceremony.” – Time Out

Reviews

“The Bill Murray classic that’s funny, poignant and way better than sweet vermouth on the rocks, with a twist.”
– Chicago Sun-Times

“GROUNDHOG DAY might have been a mere gimmick movie, but it isn’t; it’s something better — a gentle fantasy of both paralysis and liberation.”
– David Denby, New York Magazine
