Smart, sweet, and inventive, Groundhog Day highlights Murray's dramatic gifts while still leaving plenty of room for laughs.

Murray, more often than not, is pretty unbearable; but here, playing a man who is unbearable, Murray begins convincingly, amusingly, and gets even more amusing as he metamorphoses. Jan 5, 2018 | Full Review…

While Murray's deadpan putdowns and dry dismissals of provincial peccadilloes are the comic highlights, Groundhog Day is no supercilious rip of small-town U.S.A. Feb 2, 2015 | Full Review…

Groundhog Day may not be the funniest collaboration between Bill Murray and director Harold Ramis... Yet this gentle, small-scale effort is easily the most endearing film of both men's careers, a sweet and amusing surprise package. May 6, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Murray hasn't made a comedy this winningly dumb and smart and -- yes -- sweet in a long time. If, indeed, he ever has. May 6, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does. May 6, 2013 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Murray's wiseacre persona is perfect for what could be saccharine material in other hands. May 6, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

With his shifts from smugness to weirdness to some kind of local heroism, Murray controls the picture throughout. But Ramis works ably with his oddly assorted supporting cast. Jun 5, 2018 | Full Review…

Murray's performance doesn't only elevate the film to a completely different level but also elevates the work being put in by the rest of the cast. Feb 12, 2018 | Full Review…

Are we all just wasting time squandering eternity? The film doesn't make this accusation lightly. And it takes an outrageous concept, a big premise with a science-fiction spin, to level the idea in terms we accept and understand. Feb 2, 2018 | Full Review…

Ramis and Murray achieve a harmony of wit and wisdom that works so effortlessly on you, on us all, the phrase "Groundhog Day" in American vernacular has become a synonym for déjà vu. Feb 1, 2018 | Rating: A+ | Full Review…

Harold Ramis's direction is nothing special, yet there is a beautiful, lip-smacking efficiency in the way that a great idea is touched off and followed to its conclusion. Jan 3, 2018 | Full Review…

When it comes to existential drama comedies about self realizations in a fantastic setting, [it] is right up there with films like "Her" and "Eternal Sunshine." May 14, 2015 | Full Review…

It is so easy to fall in love with such a sweet, delightful and hilarious comedy that has so many classic moments, but what is most fascinating about it is how the incredibly creative plot always finds a way to reinvent itself while exploring the many possibilities of its premise.
Super Reviewer
Bill Murray delivers comic perfection, but it's the tightrope between pathos and existentialism that the screenplay manages to walk that is most engaging about this classic.
I've finally seen it. The incredible amount of references I've heard to this movie for decades after its release testify to its delightful originality and earn it obvious classic status.
A fun comedy about a man caught on a time loop in his most hated day of the year: Groundhog Day. It's not laugh out loud funny, but more of being impressed with the shenanigans he does while he's reliving his day. Can you guess how long he was stuck in this time loop?
