Today we are told about time warp loops and paradoxes and sci-fi brings a different reality to what THIS film is really all about.It's more a exploration into the soul and a last chance to"get it right"told in comic terms rather than straight drama.Released in 1996 and running 101 minutes there's little not to like so I took only 1/2 star off for the lame idea of a groundhog day relating to the sci-fi loops in a comedic way.had to find SOMETHING keeping it from perfect.Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell excel in this far out idea FILLED with metaphors on life and love and the pursuit of just about everything.Trailer URL follows the pix as well as a IMDB summary below.
A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the 'following' day he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day.
