Critic Reviews

Hal Hinson

For once, the audience isn't forced to surrender its intelligence (or its healthy cynicism) to embrace the film's sunny resolution. Read full review

Scott Tobias

A hilarious and unexpectedly profound comedy. Read full review

James Berardinelli

This movie has all the qualities necessary to be a crowd-pleaser: likable characters, charismatic performers, a strong, capably-executed premise, and lots of laughs. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Seeing it once is fine, but seeing it every day for the rest of your life is not recommended. Read full review

Louis Black

There were a lot of ways for this film to go stupid; it succumbs to none of them. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The funniest moments in Groundhog Day come when Phil takes sneaky advantage of his predicament-by, say, pumping a sexy woman in the local coffee shop for facts about her past and then, ''the next day,'' using the information to lure her into bed. What the movie lacks is the ingenious, lapidary comic structure that could have made these moments fuse into something tricky and wild. Read full review

Desson Thomson

With its zany daily episodes, "Groundhog" gets stuck in a non-progressive repetition. Read full review

Great movie and great performances by both Bill Murray and Andie McDowell. I will always remember watching it for the first time on Groundhog Day.

One of the best and finest comedy movie I have ever seen so far, about a weatherman stuck in the Groundhog Day. Excellent humor, story, and setting choice they used for the movie. Oh and, Bill Murray's fine acting as well. :)

A classic and of the 1990's best comedies.
This clever, charming comedy is lead by the brilliant Bill Murray who is perfectly cast as the cynical and grumpy weatherman Phil Connors.

Throughout, the repeating days never becomes old and tired, much the opposite in fact as every time he relived the same day it felt new and interesting. Plus, every scene never really ceased to be funny, as Bill Murray was undeniably at his very best in this film, both as a comedian and as an actor. In addition, the moral and events of this one are almost always very touching when they are not funny. Watching Phil Collins transform as a human being by living the same day is a great thing to watch and is also a credit to the great script for this one. The script manages to tell a story that has been told many times before in a very fresh and unique way, while almost tricking us into thinking it is brand new. That is not bad thing either, as it really makes this film all the more enjoyable and always leaves you wondering what is ahead next. Overall, this one is a very unique approach to a similar topic that never really feels tired thanks to its great acting, comedic elements, and script.… Expand

So-called comedy starring Bill Murray who's too old. He's a weather reporter who has a big chip on his shoulder and isn't at all happy about having to report on a groundhog that can tell the weather. But he manages to get thru the day without any major upset. That's where the movie shouldSo-called comedy starring Bill Murray who's too old.
