Why the hell do we have six more weeks of winter just cause some punk arse groundhog saw his shadow?

Well it's a movie with Bill Murray where he keeps reliving the same day over and over again. That day happened to be on Feb 2.

Id give it 3.9/5 stars.

Horrible...should easily be higher IMO.

It's arguably his best movie.

groundhogs are extremely knowledgeable about weather, and have been making accurate predictions since before Leif Erickson discovered North America. Don't fight it, bro.

Better to underrate than overrate, I guess?

Not really. It's a great movie, but Ghostbusters and Caddy Shack were far superior.

Because Phil Connors hasn't learned to be a better person yet.

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

I said arguably.

And I love both you named as well. IMO Scrooged is also arguable for his best. He just makes so many damn awesome movies..

According to the Weather Channel the groundhogs have been correct 40% of time.

It was discovered over 700 years ago, shortly after Sam Waterston (later to be known as Uncle Sam) flew over on the Hindendurg and discovered America, that groundhogs were created by great sorcerers in prehistoric times to alert them when it was time to switch to the spring capes. Once Sam and his fellow explorers discovered their powers, it was decreed that all groundhogs were to be murdered and sacrificed to the Quaker Oats deity. One groundhog, however, escaped the purge and migrated to what is now a small town in Pennsylvania. They named him Phil (which is where Philadelphia got its name) and continued to use him as the prehistoric sorcerers wanted.

Punxsutawney Phil is over 600 years old, is the size of a Shetland pony, and has predicted the coming of spring or its delay with 100% accuracy since then.
