User Reviews: Groundhog Day (1993)
Pros: beautiful movie that empowers you to better yourself
Cons: what cons? there are cons?? when did this happen?!?!!
what's great about this movie is it has plenty of laughs, but also something for your brain to work on. it's not entirely a comedy. some ppl don't get it, and that's something I would change if I could. my dad actually laughed during the part where Phil jumps to his death off the tower. I can't help misting up during that part because it's a study in what happens when you've tried everything you can think of, and it hasn't worked, and you're desperately unhappy with your life, and breakthroughs just aren't coming, and you can't see any end to the pain. if anybody still thinks that's funny, I can't help 'em.

Pros: perhaps the most important movie ever made
Cons: not enough people have watched it
aside from some very entertaining comedy, this movie has grabbed and shaken every concept of the tao and spilled it on the ground in front of us. the concept of ''getting it right'' is the way to personal perfection. for each and every one of us.
over and over until our skin is ripped to shreds, and we are reborn, emptied from our shells of what we were, and into what we have become, and what is that? what our previous actions have determined. as we climb, not a mountain of faith, but a mountain of dissapointment, we see our flaws, when we wake up to them. and then, when our ways fail, and there is no way for us to have what we thought was right, and true, we can see so clearly, what is the true and right way for everything. then , as it is in the movie, as bill murry plods along un happilly doing his chores, we can find joy in our service, to ourselfs, and the world around us, and only then, when we have attained that joyless service, can the beauty of living, find us. our inner self. that shows us what we really were trying to have-...harmoney. and this movie proves that it is hard work, to fit in a world of chaos, but as bill murry puts down the swword of selfish desire, and picks up the plow of hard work, the character shows us him; a high priest of shoulin dedication, not to his own will, painful yes, as when he watched the old man die, over and over, and finally walks away from that pain, but to what must be, and becoming a crucial part, with a wisdom born thru adersity and skill and learning, what service is benificial to the whole, the whole of life,....and what is not.
when i first saw this movie so many years ago, it rose to my very first favorite. why? because it showed me the answer to what i had been trying to put into words for so long.......
you reap what you sow, and we are all judged by works.
the reward comes to us for our works, by what we reap. and if you are seeking true love, true devotion,
you must give it first.Was this review helpful? Yes - Nobill's best

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoIronically The Only Movie I Could Watch

Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat Movie!
Groundhog Day is a great movie that will have you thinking about 'what ifs' every time you watch it. A story about a self-centered egomaniac (Murray), who relives one day, Groundhog Day, over and over. As a weather reporter for a Pa. news station, Murray is on location in Puxatawny to report on the groundhogs response to his shadow. But, when the next day comes, it is still Groundhog Day. As a result, Murray tries to take advatage of the situation, but that only leads to depression and despair. A very original idea on how to make the most of each day, and how to respect other people for who they are.

This is one of the best movies i've seen in a great while.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRead this!
Someone recently (2003) asked Roger Ebert if there was any movie he had given a bad review and would like to take back. Groundhog day was his answer. Murrays performance in Kingpin probably made Ebert look more closely at this movie, but still it was a pretty good movie.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThis one really makes you think
Besides being extremely funny, Groundhog Day really shows how much you can make out of just one day - This one makes you want to make every day count!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoYinz dont know
Groundhog day is the creme-de-la-creme of holiday oriented movies. As well, it easily makes my top 10 list of greatest all time comedies.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoNice
If you like Bill Murray, there is no way you can hate this movie!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoFantastic
This movie ranks among my top 5 movies ever. That may be a bit of a bold statement considering that the movie essentially shows us the same day over and over again, but the message that the movie shows us is that no matter how rude, or arrogant or how self centered a person is, he/she can change for the better. Some of the scenes in here are very funny - especially where they show montages of the same scene, and how it goes wrong/changes each time.
All in all, a fantastic movie!Was this review helpful? Yes - NoWhere is the DTS?
Ok, I love this film and waited for this new Sp. Ed. from Col/TriStar. I was super excited to see a DTS optional track on the package and althought Col/TriStar only seems to do that for the SUPERBITS I didn't find it that strange. However, to my knowledge there is NO DTS track on the damn disc! If there is...I can't find it!!! There are only two tracks dolby digital and dolby surround. So, why does it promote DTS if there is NONE???

Does not have DTS soundtrack
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGroundhog Day is WONDERFUL!!!
Groundhog Day is my favorite movie, and my wifes favorite as well. We own over 3000 movies, and yet we still watch Groundhog Day several times a year, making it one of only a handful of very special movies to us. Those who are looking only for comedy will certainly enjoy this movie, and Bill Murrey fans absolutely MUST see it. But there is much more to this movie than comedy. It is also a wonderful portrait of human relationships, and winds up being a cute and sweet romantic story as well. All of the cast members did an excellent job of portraying the type of people their characters represented, mostly good-hearted small town everyday people. And Andie McDowell as the eventual object of growing romance comes off as a real sweet-heart.
This is a story about how people can learn to love and appreciate each other if they will only forget the selfishness that makes them stupid long enough to give love a chance.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoWatch it again and again and again..
This is Harold (I was a in Ghostbusters) Ramis's best film, which isn't saying that much, but the film is definately entertaining enough to watch once or twice and its funny watching Bill Murray (a genius) go through the hell of repeating a terrible chore over and over again. The rest of the cast are pretty dull and who gives a f**k?

This movie is a classic not only to be cherished in the beginning of February, but all year round. Tne more I see it , the funnier it gets! Bill Murray is a riot. This is a must see movie. Great for a day you are stuck at home.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoPerfect Classic Comedy
It is so rare today to have a comedy done so well. If you have never seen Groundhog Day, be careful. You just might find yourself repeating the same movie over and over and over again.

Only Bill Murray could make this dopey comedy work, a class act all the way through.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoGreat Flick
I have seen this movie more times than I have attempted to sit through "Four Weddings and a Funeral." Groundhog day, although redundant in parts, is a wonderful study of what life would be like if one had all the time in the world. This plot was so well designed that something similar was actually used in an episode of Xena: Warrior Princess entitled, "Been There Done That."
Was this review helpful? Yes - Nogood show
this will be one of those movies that gets better with time. very funny and romantic without being corny. an example of a comedy done correctly.
