Critics Consensus

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

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Chicago connections are many for the Bill Murray classic that’s funny, poignant and way better than sweet vermouth on the rocks, with a twist.

Groundhog Day is a charming and hilarious film. Or did I already say that? Anyway, it is worth repeating.

Elements of Madness

As home releases and re-releases start to fall into a bit of an endless cycle, it makes a weird bit of sense that Groundhog Day would lack a certain excitement and feel like more of what we’ve seen, yet still bring about a little bit of joy.

Nothing suggested that this would gather steam over time and emerge as one of the most respected comedies of the past 30 years.

Rated: 3.5/4

Groundhog Day is a Scrooge-like comedy that's surprisingly delightful. It poses a very interesting question: What would happen if every day were the same?

Rated: 3/4

Whats not to like about this classic?! Bill Murray progresses through all of the stages of becoming a truly wonderful human being with a comedic timing that is unsurpassed. From the arrogant star, through finding ways to get selfishly what he wants from anyone, to finding what it takes to be genuine with his feelings to make his best selfand finding out that his humble self has finally found love, peace, and happiness. Its a lesson we all can benefit from while memorizing the most hilarious lines you will find yourself using in your own life. We have seen it hundreds of times, but the line is always that weve only seen it once.over and over again!!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a shame there are only 5 stars available!... Groundhog Day is a one of a kind work of art. Enough has been written about it. It hasn't stopped being out of fashion. Just go and see it! Words are pointless!

Not sure this movie really holds up after 30 years. Murray does not hold up. His whole movie work is just sad clown movies of a sad little clown man.
