Time Well Spent...

TIME WELL SPENT - 10 DAYS 00 HOURS 11 MINUTES

Tuesday, 15 January 2013

What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?

Date: Friday 11th January
Film: Groundhog Day (1993)
Director: Harold Ramis
Starring: Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell
Running time: 1 hour, 41 minutes
Rating: 8/10

I adore Bill Murray. I'm sure I've mentioned that before.

Groundhog Day is another film that proves I am justified in my love for him, and it sits near the top, second only to Ghostbusters, of my Brilliant Bill Murray Scale.

It's a simple enough story, a man repeats the same day over and over. He is the only person aware that he is repeating the day, and his interactions with people change as his outlook on the situation differs.

Somewhat ironically, given the film's premise, this movie never seems to get old or repetitive. I always find myself laughing along and it's one of the rare times that I find Andie MacDowell tolerable (I couldn't tell you why I don't enjoy watching her, I just know that something annoys me).

I'm not a fan of the phrase 'feel good film' but it most definitely applies here.
