MPAA RATING: PG-13
Starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brian Doyle-Murray, Marita Geraghty, and Rick Ducommun
Teamed with a relentlessly cheerful producer (MacDowell) and a smart-aleck cameraman (Elliott), TV weatherman Phil Connors (Murray) is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. But on his way out of town, Phil is caught in a giant blizzard, which he failed to predict, and finds himself stuck in small-town hell. Just when things couldn't get worse, they get worse; Phil wakes the next morning to find it's Groundhog Day all over again... and again... and again. (Sony)

A comedy classic with soul and heart and a very interesting idea. Bill Murray is amazing in this, as is Andie MacDowell. I can't count how many times I've watched this movie!

Possibly the best movie of the 1970s. It obviously was a big step from the old fashion way of 14.5 frames per second and it could have been much better. However, more then 10 people have rated this review, i mean movie, to be on the high side of the scoring system. Therefore it would make a great addition to your 60s collection... because it would be at a higher frame rate of course!
Sam T. gave it a10:
the best film of all time, a classic in every way possible, amazing acting and the whole shabang.

I own this on DVD and the first time I saw it, I didn't really find it funny. It was a good movie, it just wasn't funny. The second time I saw it, I was rolling in laughter. Great movie, Bill Murray is at his best! Just for the record on the DVD box, the movie said, it was PG, not PG-13. Great concept and great moral, or at least the way I saw it, as live a day like there is no tomorrow.
Andrew M. gave it an 8:
This is one of my favourite reruns, getting at least an annual airing. Murray's performance is inspired in this film, clearly revelling in his character. McDowell too slips easily into her role and shares great chemistry with Murray throughout. Loaded with frothy humour that washes over well, from a clever premise and storyline, GD is great fun to watch and you may even learn a little something too...
