Cynical TV weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) finds himself reliving the same day over and over again in this romantic fantasy, when he goes on location to the small town of Punxsutawney to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day.Snowed in during a road-trip expedition to watch the famous groundhog encounter his shadow, Murray falls into a time loop that is never explained but pays off so richly that it doesn't need to be. The elaborate loop-the-loop plot structure cooked up by screenwriter Danny Rubin is crystal-clear every step of the way, but it's Murray's world-class reactive timing that makes the jokes explode, and we end up looking forward to each new variation. He squeezes all the available juice out of every scene. Without forcing the issue, he makes us understand why this fly-away personality responds so intensely to the radiant sanity of the TV producer played by Andie MacDowell. The blissfully clueless Cabin Boy (Chris Elliott) is Murray's nudnik cameraman.
