Advantages: uplifting, well made

Disadvantages: slightly annoying, especially if you dont like repetition

When i saw this when i was younger, i used to wonder what i would do in the place of Bill Murray. This story follows Phil Connors (Murray) as he is stuck in the same day, repeating it's self over and over again with no escape. It first it seems like hell, but as the film progresses Phil learns to except it and make the most of the time he is given.

I do enjoying wondering about what i would do, with the endless possibilities and lack of responsibility. However i think that the film makes good use to show how horrible it would be to be in his place.

Watching it recently i took note on how well the continuity is done. With the same scenes repeated, i spent a lot of my time watching the extras to see if they did the same thing over and over. And i was plesently suprised to see that they were nearly always spot on.

Its an uplifting film at the end, even if it does get a bit annoying with the repetition half way, but that is apart of the film.

Summary: Recommended
