 One of Murray's best April 26, 1999
This movie has an excellent plot that makes you think after you've seen it. If you were stuck in the same day over and over, would you use it to your advantage and not worry about the consequences (because there aren't any), or would you try and become a better person. But anyway, this is a nice movie (there's a real shortage of those). It doesn't really on swearing to be funny, and the romance isn't full of sex. The only downer is that it gets a bit too bogged down in the romance side (which is a lot less funny).
 Well-written, clever, unexplained plot! April 8, 1999

Why he's trapped forever in the same day is never explained, but it really doesn't matter in the end! This was a fun film, and I especially liked the progression regarding Phil Connor's approach toward dealing with his permanently living the same day over & over. First, he can't believe it, then he cynically tries to take advantage of it, before falling into despair, and finally lifting himself above it all. It's both an enjoyable and satisfying experience to witness his "rebirth" as a human being, although it's really not any kind of serious film! Bill Murray is perfectly cast, although I'd have rather seen someone like Meg Ryan in the female lead, instead of Andie McDowell. But that's just me.

This movie is definitely an "upper". It's one of those rare movies that can be watched over and over, and still seem fresh. Bill Murray is terrific - probably the best he's ever been. Awesome!
Hilarious post-holiday pick-me up feel good entertainment! March 14, 1999
The concept of reliving one particular day in your life until you reach perfection (or what you think is perfection) is very intriguing to me. This is one of many reasons I enjoy this film so much. Murray's comedic timing reminds me of Cary Grant. Murray does sarcasm to perfection.
Fun movie with "meaning" March 7, 1999

This movies has a guy trying to get a girl, car chases, explosions, cute animals, great music, etc.It also shows that if the meanings we give life are artificial they still matter. As well as the value of doing the best with what life's given you. Should be watched by all existentialists & science fiction fans too, I say. Everyone else too. You won't learn a thing if you don't want to. Well, maybe a little.
