"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.

I agree with Ali. He becomes a new person and the song is good this is a good movie.
I liked the way that you described the plot of this movie and pointed out how Phil finally realizes the meaning for reliving this day over and over, and that he changes himself for his own good not just the good of others. GOOD JOB!! :)
definitely true, bill murray held this movie together with his comedy. His seperate rants on the news or just his straight sarcasm in general to different townspeople makes this film really funny.
Ali Vigil, you make a very good point saying that Phil was selfless on his last Febuary 2nd day. He did indeed become a better man after living such a long time as a self centered little prick. Rita noticed it early on and only tolerated him, but not she loves being around this caring man.
