Synopsis: Phil (Murray) is cursed to re-live the same day over and over again, a day he hates in a town he hates.
Review: This movie is a classic and maybe the best example in the mixed genre of Comedy and Fantasy. Bill Murray plays very well the pessimism with offbeat humour, actually like he always does. The evolution of what he chooses to do with his days is funny to watch, but I found that the movie has aged a bit. I had a better memory of when I watched it ten years ago.
The ending is also a bit easy: of course this challenge will make him a better person and he will find love.
Rating: 6 /10
