Our take on Groundhog Day

Harold Ramis turns a simple premise into a small comic-philosophical marvel: a cynical TV weatherman, sent with his upbeat producer and dry cameraman to cover Groundhog Day in tiny Punxsutawney, finds himself trapped reliving the same day on endless repeat. What begins as farce gradually deepens into a story about boredom, despair and the slow work of becoming a better person. This fantasy comedy rewards viewers who enjoy wit that sneaks up on real feeling, and it holds up to rewatching as well as its hero relives his day. Ideal for anyone wanting a smart, warm-hearted laugh with an unexpectedly reflective core. A durable, endlessly quotable favorite.
