Very well executed
Good concept, poorly executed.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
It's just charming how Harold Ramis directed this comedy which shows the real comedic talent of Bill Murray. He is not just delivering some funny script lines, he's performing with his full body. It's funny when he looks, when he reacts, when he wakes up (every morning). That's something which is missing from comedies nowadays. And Groundhog Day doesn't need to explain everything to us. Murrays weatherman ist reliving the same day again and again. Why? We don't know. But it's not relevant for the story. Reitman focuses on Murray and on the recurring events that vary from time to time. This is definitely one of Murrays classics (along with Scrooged).
View MoreI'm a sucker for romantic comedies. This movie has as much charm as it has bite, thanks to a fantastic script and Murray's excellent performance. Never dull or cheesy, this wonderful fantasy tale just hits all the right notes, and if anyone knows a better rom-com, please name it. I've watched it countless times and, without a doubt, I will watch it again and again (or for as long as I keep waking up to that song by Sonny & Cher).
View MoreThis was the greatest movie I have ever watched. It is mind-blowing how good it is
View MoreOne of, if not, the best performances of Bill Murray. Clever, unique and a well-written plot. A 90's classic which never gets old.
