Movie Review - Groundhog Day

Ok this one seems like a weird thing to do but every time I catch it on TV it just makes me laugh! You all have probably heard of the movie by now, it stars Bill Murray who plays a weatherman from Pittsburgh who goes with his team to Punxsutawney PA to cover the Ground Hog Day festivities. He ends up getting stuck in a time warp where he has to relive February 2nd over and over for god knows how long. The best part is how he experiments with life from day to day, he goes from taking advantage of people to trying to kill himself with a high point of stealing the ground hog and driving off of a cliff and exploding! I find it to be a hilarious story about a guy who is a bit of an asshole and his journey to figure out how to be a good guy.

I also find it funny that we had gone to Ground Hog Day parties for so long growing up at the Measley's and we never really ended up watching this movie as a kid...instead we watched Encino Man which I think says something about Paulie Shore movies :) So a testament to our youth watch Ground Hog Day!!
