Teamed with a relentlessly cheerful producer (Andie MacDowell) and a smart-aleck cameraman (Chris Elliott), TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. After a surprise blizzard traps him in small-town hell, things get even worse; Phil wakes the next morning to find it’s GROUNDHOG DAY all over again… and again… and again. desertcart.co.uk Review Bill Murray does warmth in Groundhog Day, a romantic fantasy about a wacky weatherman forced to relive one strange day over and over again, until he gets it right. Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time warp that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. Director Harold Ramis (who co-starred with Murray in Ghostbusters) takes an absurd situation and explores its every imaginable comic possibility. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure cooked up by screenwriter Danny Rubin is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it is Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. Because none of the other characters are aware that Groundhog Day is continually repeating itself, Murray goes through a repertoire of responses, from conniving lust for Rita (Andie MacDowell) to gleeful nihilism to a Zen resignation worthy of Buster Keaton. Groundhog Day manages the rare feat of producing belly laughs in abundance and also being genuinely wise about the human condition. --David Chute, desertcart.comOn the DVD: the disc presents the movie in a 1.85:1 ratio and with Dolby surround sound. There are trailers for Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters and Multiplicity, along with filmographies for Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Andie McDowell and Chris Elliot. This remastered edition also comes with an extended documentary "The Weight of Time", which offers insights into the "European"-style script and production difficulties, but is a little over-lavish in its praise of the actors on set. Thought-provokingly, the documentary also touches upon the spiritual nature of the movie and what it has meant to an audience beyond being a simple comedy. Also included here is a director’s commentary by Ramis which, although informative, has too many long breaks and would surely have benefited from the addition of Bill Murray to the conversation. --Nikki Disney Review: Good morning Punxatawney! - This is a film that ought to be compulsory for everyone to watch - there are a lot of those - but the mixture of philosophical drama, slapstick comedy and the romantic feel-good factor is just right. Although Murray plays his character with comic gusto and there is never a dull moment when he's on-screen, the poignant, terrifying and lengthy process of his redemption shocks the viewer into the realisation that this is not, strictly speaking, a comedy film. It is, however, a testament to the cast and the directors that it manages to keep its pace and sense of humour and doesn't turn into a leaden moralising mass. Although Americans can't make a war film about another country's war, they can do this kind of magical fiction about their own society. What is good about the setting and the people in it is that it is so believable - despite "Hairdo" at the beginning, the cast is full of the misfits and weirdos very rarely seen in American productions. Murray is not a clean-cut kid, and in his very smugness at the beginning is ten times the character that Andie Macdowell is, and since her Rita too is flesh and blood, that is saying an awful lot. Too many ordinary heroines would fall for Phil Connors' womanising and his too-hasty attempts to gratify her, both while he is still manipulating various townswomen into sleeping with him and after he has begun to realise that he should start to treat women (in particular) better. Although Rita is a liitle saccharine-sweet at the beginning, she knows herself and Phil enough by the end to come across in a better light. Eventually you begin waiting with baited breath for 6am, to see whether Phil has made it out or whether he must live yet another day. And the final scene does keep you in suspense just a moment longer as the clock ticks over one last time from 5.59 to 6.00... The director calculates in the commentary that to become as good a piano/synth player as Phil Connors ends up, he'd need to spend at least ten years in his loop cycle - and that's not including what has gone before he takes his first piano lesson. That's the scariest part about it, and when you watch the included documentary and listen to the commentary (which is essentially watching the film over again, as the director takes care not to speak over the dialogue) you begin to realise the enormous amount of thought that went into the production of this. One frame does cut to a shot of the "Woodstock Jewellers" - showing up the fact that this was actually filmed in a small town in Illinois, as the real Punxatawney is not as picturesque as the film requires the town to be - but otherwise the illusion is firmly implanted in th e viewers' minds. Sadly the problem with the car chase scenes is that - if the roads are so good after a blizzard strong enough to close the freeway out of town, couldn't he just try to leave? Although it raised a question in my mind, the effect is only slight and if you are fully absorbed in what must be the most gripping film I've ever watched, then you'll hardly notice. The DVD (my Collector's Edition at any rate) comes with a lovely set of extras, including a full range of dub languages and subtitles. I watched it through in English with Polish subtitles (I speak this fluently and find it good to learn more colloquialisms by this method) but heck, if you wanted to try, say Italian with Hungarian or French with Czech, you could end up watching the film a hundred times - which really would be a Groundhog Day experience. Also when you click on a menu item the cursor changes from 5.59 to 6.00, which is a classic touch and which more DVDs should have. Review: I just can't accept that this film is that good - but it IS! - How many films do you know start with a premise that is outrageously impossible, undoubtedly reducing the cast to hysterics, let alone the audience, and yet have such a deep, no, forget that, DEEP message. This film wants to teach us so many things. I can't believe that it made me laugh so much, while in a way, slapping me hard around the face in doing so... I bear tribute to the skills of the madman that brought this into being. Essentially, what happens, is that a bored weatherman drops inot a provincial (real) town called Puxatawny, not realising that his life, as he knows it, is about to be turned upside down. He slowly realises, to his horror, that he somehow cannot help but re-live this one day over and over... and over again. Boring? Forget it. Bill Murray is hysterical; after seeing this the fifth time or so I ached all over; I needed a hankerchief, I laughed so much. Bill is like me so badly that I can't look at this straight without getting at least six sevenths paranoid. So how does the director KNOW ME SO WELL? Well, I think that he knew Bill Murray, who plays the part amazingly well, veering from smart and savvy, impossibly funny, to lost and scared, to cynical (the incident with the police car just cracks my eldest son up totally). Then it gets dark; Phil gets lonely and morbid, and it is odd to see just how far this is played by Murray, seemingly prepared to follow a dark path with a very bad destiny. But no, it isn't to be that way; he finds, or is shown... a way out. This is frankly when I get a bit shaky. When bill/phil finds that the way out of misery and despair is ... to truly love ... then my knees start to knock a bit and I need the tissues again. Because this is truly the touch from heaven, whether it is mentioned or not; certainly the touch of the Almighty (who does not appear on the credits especially. But he's there). This is where the film gets epic, and the miraculous is right there in front of you; Everything bill / phil touches suddenly is set alight; people live better lives, or simply don't die that day; one old man is saved a lonely death; quite a lot of amazing things in fact. I have to say that the film at this point is truly transcendent, and unlike almost anything else; it becomes simply astonishing, and lights up with tremendous power and beauty. The ending is, of course when Bill/phil is no longer thinking about himself. It ends unapologetically on a truly happy note that perhaps never could happen in real life. Or could it? It's too good to be true - it's ridiculous, but by then you don't care because the better half of you knew that it was impossible from the beginning, but that is no excuse - who cares? What matters about the impossible if no one else is watching? It's brilliant - more than it should be - almost like being in love? I need a run around the block now. That's quite enough... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005UL69 | | Actors | Andie MacDowell, Bill Murray, Chris Elliott, Stephen Tobolowsky | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,382 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 257 in Romance (DVD & Blu-ray) 388 in Fantasy (DVD & Blu-ray) 915 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (8,512) | | Director | Harold Ramis | | Dubbed: | Italian | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English | | Manufacturer reference | 5035822459496 | | Media Format | Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Trevor Albert | | Product Dimensions | 38.1 x 30.5 x 2 cm; 140 g | | Release date | 18 Feb. 2002 | | Run time | 1 hour and 43 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | Arabic, Danish, English, Finnish, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish | ## Product Details - **Format:** Subtitled - **Genre:** Comedy - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 43 minutes ## Images ![Groundhog Day [DVD] [2002] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91FiiKoH9EL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good morning Punxatawney! *by L***Y on 11 November 2005* This is a film that ought to be compulsory for everyone to watch - there are a lot of those - but the mixture of philosophical drama, slapstick comedy and the romantic feel-good factor is just right.
