Genre: Comedy, Fantasy, Romance

Bill Murray as weatherman Phil, re-lives Groundhog Day over and over again in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.Whatever he does, when a new day starts he finds himself in the same bed at the same B&B and the radio waking him with the same music and the same talk.

Phil being a self-centered and grumpy man, who didn't want to go on assignment to Punxsutawney in the first place, have to re-live his nightmare as a blizzard keeps him there along with his producer Rita and his cameraman Larry.

This is most of all a classic comedy, and Murray is nothing short of excellent in this role. I wish they had cast someone other than MacDowell as Rita, but back then some casting agents thought she had something as she was cast in several roles too good for her. She lacks chemistry with Murray, lacks comedic timing and charm and was one of the reasons I strongly considered dropping my rating down at an eight. Still. The script and Murray is just too good to punish that hard for her part. A don't miss classic comedy.
