Live the Movie – Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day, the story of self-obsessed, bitter weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray) who finds he is living the same day, February 2nd – the Groundhog Day – over and over again until he learns to become a better person, is considered by many one of the greatest comedy films ever made. After unsuccessfully applying his ability to relive the same day without consequence to more selfish endeavours (seducing women, stealing money), the Pittsburgh meteorologist finally learns that self-improvement holds the key to his future. He then sets about dedicating his time to learning new skills and helping those around him, a personality U-turn that earns him the heart of his beloved Rita (Andie McDowell). With its potent message, the film almost challenges us, asking what we want to do with our lives and who we want to be. It encourages us to strive to better ourselves and delivers a happy ending and huge feel-good factor that is truly inspirational.
