Groundhog Day Trailer
What would you do if you could live the same day, over and over again without any repercussions for your actions? This is the basic premise of "Groundhog Day." Bill Murray plays Phil, an arrogant, cocky weatherman who has to go to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover a story on whether the "rat" will see his shadow. Throughout that day he wakes up to "I Got You Babe," eats at a diner, gets harassed by some nerd he went to high school with, runs into Nancy Taylor- yes, that happens, and tries to win over his coworker Rita (Andie MacDowell). Each day, Phil spends his time trying to perfect exactly what to say to Rita when he sees her, from learning French, to toasting to world peace, he knows exactly what is going to make her interested...because she told him when he lived this day yesterday. The movie is belly laugh funny, but of course- it is Bill Murray we're talking about here. The only thing is, if I spent over 70 days reliving the same day I don't think that I would spend it testing the waters as much as he does (driving his car off of a cliff, electrifying himself..etc). But either way, this movie never gets old. I still laugh every time he steps into the pool of water, or when he calls Rita's college major stupid. It's one of those American classic comedies that can at least always been seen once a year: Groundhog Day.
