Bill Murray is back to his best as cynical weatherman
Phil Connors, who covers the Groundhog Day festivities in a small Pennsylvania town for his network, even though he despises the picket fence community. Trapped in town by a freak
blizzard, he stays another night in town only to wake up and discover it's the same day again (and again and again).
Forced to spend an eternity in his own personal hell,
he begins to develop a fondness for the winter wonderland and becomes romantically attracted to his producer who is initially spurned by his cynicism.
One of the best comedies of the 1990's, Groundhog Day
is a brilliantly fun film, but you may not choose to watch it every day for the rest of your life.
