I used not to care for it when I was younger but i watched it recently and it was actually pretty enjoyable. Maybe I was just in a good mood.

I like the part when he takes piano lessons.
"I'd kinda like to get started today"...pulls out wad of cash, kid gets shoved out of the door.

Love this movie. Always get sucked in when I catch it on TV. For some reason, it is like my personal Groundhog's Day because I always forget exactly how it ends, and I have seen it hundreds of times.
Also, did you know... that in the movie, Murray is supposed to have relived the day for an estimated 10 years? I was shocked when I learned that. There are other estimates, but 10 is the lowest reasonable number for Murray to accomplish all of his tasks [master pianist, ice sculptor, etc.] with 600 or 1,000 years having been thrown around as well.

It is one of my favorite movies.

I always like to spread the word of just how long Phil stayed stuck in his world. From the writer's blog:
quote:
My original intent was that the length of time needn’t be specific, just terribly long, and in my mind, more than one lifetime. That was in fact the whole point of the original experiment, the one I hoped to play out via comedic dramatization: if a person could live long enough would that person fundamentally change? The clarity of the experiment would come from the huge exaggeration of time. He would have to live longer than a person is supposed to live, more than one lifetime. The repetition part was how I got to the immortality.
quote:
In my original draft I had created a device to help audiences feel the massiveness of time on Phil’s shoulders. It was my version of five-bundled hatch marks on a prison wall, which of course would not work for Phil as each morning the marks would be gone. My solution was a wall-length bookcase in the Bed and Breakfast. Every day Phil would read a single page from a single book. Every now and then we would see him finish the first chapter, then the whole book, then the last book in the row. On one sad day we see him finish the last page of the last book in the bookcase – only to then have to walk back to the very first book and begin again.
quote:
The studio had a note: He’s there too long. He can’t repeat the day so many times. Peoples’ heads would explode. The studio solution: Two weeks.
Now it comes to Harold, who must play director, philosopher, and politician, and make a decision.
What he ultimately did was take out my bookshelf and leave the time-frame as ambiguous as possible. People can still read into it whatever they wish. But in his mind – and I think the movie reflects this – it lasted about ten years.
