There couldn't be a better day to review this annual American favorite than on Groundhog Day itself, obviously. If you're either a Bill Murray fan, comedy fan or just like the film for it's holiday allure, it's fun to watch on Groundhog Day, or any day of the year for that matter. For anyone growing up in the early 1990s, this film was pretty popular from the start, it has a great director and the story is written well enough that it's easily re-watchable. It's also part science fiction, so fans of time travel will love the film as well. Over time, the film has become a holiday staple for the holiday in which it's named, Groundhog Day.
The supporting cast includes Andie McDowell, Brian Doyle-Murray (Bill's brother), Chris Elliot (from SNL), and of course Punxsutawney Phil. The film is very comedic, but also has some very sincere moments. Great film for the whole family.
