Synopsis:

What would you do if you found that you were trapped in today, no tomorrow ever coming, only the very same events happening over and over again? Maybe you would panic at first and then begin to consider the possibilities. You would see that, having no tomorrow, being able to remember each previous repeated day and beginning the same day anew, you could do anything you wanted to. Prank after prank might ensue. This would be followed by total boredom and maybe feelings so low that you might just try to end it all only to find that bright and early the "next" day things just started all over again. But then you discover that with your newfound "immortality" you might just be able to do something good for yourself and for everyone you encounter.

In GROUNDHOG DAY the great Bill Murray plays Phil Connors, a primaddonic, self-absorbed weatherman who finds himself in just such a scenario. He goes through every possible phase of trying to figure things out, at last accepting his fate and determining to work as hard as he can, every repeated day, to do the right thing for himself and everyone he encounters in Punxsutawney, PA. Andie MacDowell plays Rita, Phil's producer, whom Phil is finally able to win over as a result of becoming over time the very best and accomplished man he can be. The script is wonderfully written and the movie is masterfully edited as scene after scene repeats itself to show the subtle changes that take place in Phil's view of things.

Over ten years old, GROUNDHOG DAY is just as charming as it ever was and packs just as important a message today as it did at its debut: time is precious and with a little effort, a change here and an improvement there, any of us can create a life that is truly remarkable.
