Anyone who has ever sat in work waiting for the clock to tick round to 5pm will sympathise with the plight of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. As grumpy, weatherman Phil Connors, he is trapped in a small, provincial town and forced to re-live the same day over and over again. Groundhog Day is a great, if slightly uneven film and probably ...  Read the complete review

Groundhog Day boosted the career of Bill Murray, as well as reminding viewers about Four Weddings and a Funeral's Andie MacDowell, in pretty much her final major role before she decided to spend the rest of her career making age-defying adverts about shampoo and face cream. Its plot is well-known, but mis-quoted. A jaded weather reporter is forced ...  Read the complete review

I have split my review into two sections. Enjoy! The Film Phil Conners (Bill Murray) experiences the same day over and over again. He is essentially stuck in eternity and no-one realises except him. The world "resets" every morning at 6:00am. The plot develops logically - with Phil naturally thinking he's gone crazy to ...  Read the complete review

In Groundhog day Bill Murray plays a weatherman by the name of Phil, who is trapped in an infinitely repeating day. The day he repeats is, however, a tedious, cold boring workday ...  Read the complete review

Bill Murray could well be getting typecast. His second rodent movie in as many decades could be setting a trend. After the quintessential eighties comedy, Caddyshack, where he was a grounds-man who waged a war against a gopher, our hero is a sarcastic weatherman pitted against a wily groundhog in 1992's Groundhog Day. Phil Connors is a ...  Read the complete review

Groundhog Day is a film I have meaning to watch for quite some time, as it is one of those films that is often referred too in other works and I just felt like I should have seen it. Finding it at a bargain price the other day then I snapped it up quickly. To be perfectly honest when I placed it in my DVD player I wasn't expecting that much, as my ...  Read the complete review

Groundhog day is both a funny and touching movie about disaffected weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) and his personal growth as he is forced to relive the worst day of his life over and over again. While he originally reacts to this disturbing realisation originally with disbelief, then anger, then an overwhelming sense of his own ...  Read the complete review

If you are trying to compile a list of the greatest movies from the last 20 years, then look no further than this 1993 time-warp classic. The fabulous Bill Murray stars as Phil Connors- a rude, self-absorbed weatherman from Pittsburgh.

Bill Murray plays a world-weary TV weatherman forced to relive the same day repeatedly in a small American town, where he is reluctantly sent to cover the festival of Groundhog Day. The script wisely eschews the need to explain its own premise, instead focusing on Murray's spiritual growth, as he struggles to get to grips with several ...  Read the complete review

This is a timeless classic - it is without a doubt my favourite film of all time. The concept of time and the revolving nature of it is pure genius in my eyes. Most films which address the concept of time are usually a hit for me. Bill Murray expertly takes on the role of the bitter, under achiever of Phil Collins. Despite delusions ...  Read the complete review
