"I Got You Babe!"

This was the song that woke up Phil Connors at 6:00 a.m. a million times in this movie. Groundhog Day was a romantic comedy about a weather man (Phil Connors) who is arrogant, selfish, and just plain mean. He goes to the town of Puxsatawney, Pennsilvania every year to do a report on the national holiday, groundhog day. He makes rude comments about the situation and is rude to everyone he encounters with that day. So he relives that same day, February 2nd, at least a hundred times during the movie. He finally figures out that this curse does have an end to it. After living the same day a hundred times, he firgures out how/when he could save people during that day. His last day reliving that day Phil was completely selfless. During this whole time he fell more and more in love with his co-worker Rita. He learns what she likes and does everything to make her happy and hopefully fall in love with him. Well, this being a romantic comedy and all, they do fall in love at the end. YAY. Anyways, I thought Groudhog Day was really funny and by far my favorite movie we've watched all year. Bill Murray is a fantastic comedian and really made this movie very enjoyable.
