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.

I'm supposed to get all dully-eyed and mushy. Well, forget it, pal, you got the wrong guy!

Christmas and Bill Murray, what's not to love?
The story is one we seen plenty of times, but this modern take on A Christmas Carol is well done. Anything that mixes Bill Murray with ghosts gets my vote.
Plus, Bobcat Goldthwait pops up, and he instantly makes any film 20% more wonderful.

If you were one of the people who told me I would enjoy this film, I would like you to take a long hard look at yourself. What a pile of tripe. Even the wonderful K.Bake couldn't save this.
There was one redeeming factor, one thing that earned this film every point of it's three point rating.
My old man crush.
The ever fabulous Mr. Bill Murray.
