fresh:
Murray's wiseacre persona is perfect for what could be saccharine material in other hands.

fresh:
A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does.

Murray hasn't made a comedy this winningly dumb and smart and -- yes -- sweet in a long time. If, indeed, he ever has.

fresh:
Groundhog Day may not be the funniest collaboration between Bill Murray and director Harold Ramis... Yet this gentle, small-scale effort is easily the most endearing film of both men's careers, a sweet and amusing surprise package.
– Kenneth Turan,

fresh:
While Murray's deadpan putdowns and dry dismissals of provincial peccadilloes are the comic highlights, Groundhog Day is no supercilious rip of small-town U.S.A.
