Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Chicago connections are many for the Bill Murray classic that’s funny, poignant and way better than sweet vermouth on the rocks, with a twist. Feb 4, 2023 Full Review Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle This delightful romantic comedy, directed by Harold Ramis, is rich in fantasy and unexpectedly funny twists. Rated: 4/4 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Joe Holleman St. Louis Post-Dispatch Groundhog Day is a charming and hilarious film. Or did I already say that? Anyway, it is worth repeating. Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness As home releases and re-releases start to fall into a bit of an endless cycle, it makes a weird bit of sense that Groundhog Day would lack a certain excitement and feel like more of what we’ve seen, yet still bring about a little bit of joy. Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Nothing suggested that this would gather steam over time and emerge as one of the most respected comedies of the past 30 years. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 14, 2023 Full Review Marylynn Uricchio Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Groundhog Day is a Scrooge-like comedy that's surprisingly delightful. It poses a very interesting question: What would happen if every day were the same? Rated: 3/4 Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan D Whats not to like about this classic?! Bill Murray progresses through all of the stages of becoming a truly wonderful human being with a comedic timing that is unsurpassed. From the arrogant star, through finding ways to get selfishly what he wants from anyone, to finding what it takes to be genuine with his feelings to make his best selfand finding out that his humble self has finally found love, peace, and happiness. Its a lesson we all can benefit from while memorizing the most hilarious lines you will find yourself using in your own life. We have seen it hundreds of times, but the line is always that weve only seen it once.over and over again!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Johannes S On the contrary to Phil, the movie just flies by. It's a charming and funny movie from start to finish. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Audience Member DIE MUTTER ALLER TIMELOOP FILME Als Wettermann Phil auf offener Straße von einem alten Schulkameraden, der beim Talentwettbewerb die Bauchnabelpfeife spielte, gefragt wird was er denn fürs Mittagessen essen geplant habe antwortet dieser mit "was anderes", daran erkennt man schnell das Phil nicht in diesem Dörfchen sein will. Doch es ist sein Job über das Murmeltier zu berichten und als er denkt das dieser Tag endlich vorbei ist stellt er am Morgen fest, dieser Murmeltiertag wiederholt sich endlos. Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier von 1993 geht ca. 100 Minuten und ist ab 6 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier eine Fantasy-Romanze mit Bill Murray in der Hauptrolle als sarkastischen und egoistischen Wettermann Phil, der jedoch im Laufe der Geschichte über sich hinaus wächst, allerdings nicht ohne vorher etwas Schabernack zu treiben. Bill Murray hat im Grunde die selbe Rolle wie in die Geister die ich rief, aber die spielt er halt auch klasse mit seinem Charme und Witz. Die Idee des Timeloops in dem er gefangen ist bringt zunächst lustige Einfälle weil man keine Repressalien zu fürchten hat, dann die Hoffnungslosigkeit mit den Selbstmorden bis dann zum Schluss der Gedanke reift das man viel gutes damit tun kann. Die Figuren sind dabei durchgehend in Ordnung, neben Murray haben wir hier noch Andie MacDowell als stets positiven Mensch Rita, aber bei ihr kommt Phil einfach nicht zum Abschluss, egal wie sehr er sich anstrengend. Das Finale bietet dann viel Herz, wie dem Tod des Bettlers, aber auch Spaß wie Phil einfach ein besserer Mensch wird und die Menschen ihn zu schätzen wissen, zumindest für diesen Tag. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das noch heute gut funktioniert, auch wenn es inzwischen bessere Vertreter diese Genres gibt. Allein Bill Murrays Aura ist es zu verdanken das man hierran heute noch Spaß hat und das überträgt sich auf die Nebenfiguren sowie den Zuschauer. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Chris F Funniest movie ever made. Full of charm. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Jonny K This truly is a classic. Bill Murray's acting in this movie is fantastic, as if he's not even acting and actually in the story. The plot of the movie is amazing, and I really enjoyed myself while watching this. I definitely recommend this movie to anybody who hasn't seen a time-loop movie before. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Brendan J Easy watch. Excellent from start to finish. Watched in 2025 for the first time, and had no feelings of it being 'dated'. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
