Today, February 2nd, is internationally known as Groundhog Day, the day when arrogant Pennsylvania weatherman Phil Connors (played by the great Bill Murray) is sent out to a backwater of his state, Punxsutawney, to comment on a local custom, where a cute rodent (also called Phil) tells everyone if the winter is going to be long or not. The day starts repeating itself (to the tune of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe"), in the hope that Phil will start being a better person. The film is one of the best fantastic romantic comedies ever made (helped along by Andie McDowell at her finest), and the event has entered the English language, signifying events that seem to be happening again and again. I warmly recommend you to borrow this film from the Leah Lending Library. But not just yet! A friend of mine wanted to watch Groundhog Day on the day itself!
Mr Leah
The director succeeds, though the plot is of a repetitive way, in making it different, funny and special ! Great movie!
