Groundhog Day (DVD) Reviews

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

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 ...  Read the complete review

Phil Connors (Bill Murray) yearns for more status. Tired of doing the local weather and the occasional quirky news story, he's generally dismissive of the people that work with him, unkind to strangers and feels that life's a drag. So when he gets asked to cover the annual Groundhog Day celebrations in Punxsutawney yet again, he reluctantly goes ...  Read the complete review

Introduction ========= I remember first seeing this film and laughing my head off at it so when I noticed it was available on DVD I had to purchase it. Upon watching it a second time I was still howling with laughter. I had forgotten how good Bill Murray could be, I had watched Garfield recently and that brought back how ...  Read the complete review

Well I’ve just looked in today’s ‘Weekend’ magazine to see that ‘Groundhog Day’ is on tonight. I thought I’d review the film before tonight to give any possible viewers the chance to decide whether to watch it or not. --------- ~ Cast ~ --------- Chris Elliott, Bill Murray, ...  Read the complete review

What is comedy ? To the younger generation currently in their teens it's probably the sight of someone with their genetalia stuck in a pie, or maybe some sick perverted stunt where the person inflicts severe psychical pain on themselves just for laughs. Well some of that is funny but in years to some it probably won't ...  Read the complete review

The standard of film comedy to emerge from Hollywood in recent years has been largely poor, but long after all the dull-witted gross-out movies and dreary extended sitcom episodes have been forgotten, at least one film comedy from the last decade will still be treasured and acclaimed as a classic. That film is GROUNDHOG DAY. What is ...  Read the complete review

Yep, this is an almost entirely feature free DVD, and it's going to get marked down for it! In fact, we have the standard scene selctions and filmographies. plus the film's trailer. That's all! A bit disappointing for a classic film such as this! The film revolves around Phil Connors, a TV weatherman who's sent to ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit to being a huge fan of Bill Murray's movies, although recent years have seen his virtual disappearance(well I havent seen him anyway) in favour of the new batch of comic actors. Groundhog day was one of his best in my opinion, an amiable comedy with a high charm factor, relying upon pure comdey rather than the current crop of ...  Read the complete review

It could be a nightmare, it could be a Godsend. No, I'm not talking about the quality of the film, but the idea of having a Groundhog Day. Bill Murray and Andie McDowell share the billing in this romantic comedy. Both of them work for the same TV news company. Murray is the News Correspondent, and a surly one at that. He's ...  Read the complete review

Released in 1993, Groundhog day found stardom in its originality and rightly proved a big hit. With a cast consisting of Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, Stephen Tobolowsky, Brian Doyle-Murray, Marita Geraghty, Angela Paton, Rick Doucommun, Rick Overton, and Robin Duke, chances are it was always destined to succeed - which it did! ...  Read the complete review

I thought that Groundhog Day was a very original film - so if you are looking for originality, this is the one. As far as humour is concerned, Bill Murray is perfect for the role, being a "prima donna" weatherman who is too in love with himself to see that he is in a "dead end" job going no-where, and everyone hates ...  Read the complete review

Groundhog Day can't have been an easy pitch to make to a Hollywood studio exec. Picture the scene: A big fat executive sits behind a desk the size of London smoking a cigar the size of Canary Wharf, listening intently to the producer in front of him pitching a story about a weatherman who begrudgingly covers an ancient festival whereby a ...  Read the complete review

I'm sure every single one of us has wished we could relive a day at some point or another, to correct a mistake or to relive enjoyment. Well this happens to Bill Murray, a television presenter who gets to relive a day over and over... a day he hates... Groundhog Day. The film shows how he wakes up the same time every(well the same) morning ...  Read the complete review
