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.

Film Frenzy

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

Not bad, but not great either. Worth watching at least once, but was over hyped IMO.

Far from vapid, but in no way meaningful, Groundhog Day spins a trailblazer in story structure while a truly compelling theme is content to take the backseat.
