Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is a hilarious and heartwarming masterpiece of a movie. This is my second time watching it now, and it is just as good as I remember it being. Nearly every joke lands, and Phil's crazy stunts are super fun to watch. Watching the first act is like watching a dream unfold. The second act has a more serious tone but is not boring or dragged out; it keeps the pace going wonderfully. The romantic scenes are the some of the best and most creative I've seen. Even if you're not into lovey-dovey stuff, I still 100% recommend this. You could compare this to The Truman Show. It has a cool quirk, it's a little bit existential, and it's eye-candy to watch. Lastly, I'd like to say that I'm glad that they didn't feel the need to explain every minute detail about how or why the repeating day mechanic works. They just used it as a medium for telling a great story, and I think that's pretty cool.
