In this movie Bill Murray plays Phil, a TV weatherman working for a local station in Pennsylvania but convinced that national news stardom is in his grasp. Phil displays a charm and wit on camera that evaporates the moment the red light goes off; he is bitter, appallingly self-centered, and treats his co-workers with contempt, especially his producer Rita played by the charming Andie MacDowell and cameraman Larry played by Chris Elliot. This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. You might not think too deeply about this film at first, but after you do you may realize that this is truely a "meaning of life" film. Bill Murray plays the arrogant weather man Phill Connors who pretty much looks down his nose at everyone he meets. After getting trapped in a time warp in which he is doomed to repeat the same day, Groundhog Day, over and over again, Phil starts to realize what is truely important in life and changes his self-centered ways. The film will make you think. It will make you cry. It will make you feel hopeful and hopeless. And most of all, the film will make you laugh in a slightly dark comedy sort of way. If you havent seen this film you should buy it, forget about renting it first! This film is a modern classic that should be experienced by everyone.
