Ahh...Groundhog Day. A movie made back when Bill Murray still did comedies and played a completely sarcastic git. He's a weatherman sent to a small New England town to report on the appearance of the local groundhog. Andie MacDowell is his producer. He's surly and doesn't want to be there and is nasty to everybody. Something weird happens though and he finds himself living that same day over and over again, trapped in this town. No matter what he does, including killing himself, he still wakes up again on that same morning, everything in exact order. Eventually he learns the whereabouts of everyone in town, goes through a ritual of helping people out, learns the piano through one lesson a day and gets to know his producer through their brief conversations. He falls in love with her. But he still has to find a way to make his life move forward again.
This is a fabulously funny film and it's very charming and unusual to boot. Murray's character goes through all the stages of depression and then acceptance of his situation and only then can he see a bigger picture and decide to change his life for the better, even if it's just living the same day for eternity. You can't fail to be charmed by this oddball film.
