I personally do not think that this film should be placed under the comedy category. In my opinion, the film is a bore to watch. I have seen it a number of times, and although am refreshed by Andie McDowells astonishing good looks, find the performance of Bill Murray, playing a weatherman that lives the same day again and again, quite disappointing. I for one prefer to watch comedies in which the comdeian is smiling and is funny, but the flick had more of a drama feel to it. May be I just totally got the wrong end of the stick, but that was my impression the first time that I watched it and subsequently that has not changed. It would be intertesting to hear others views on this.
To summarise, it is not a comedy that I would recommed people to watch. Go adn see something else that is actually amusing !

Sorry for the 'UH', but you tell us practically nothing about the movie. I'm wondering why you have watched it so many times if you disliked it so much?!? By the way, if you like your comedians smiling and happy, I think Blockbuster just got a new shipment of George Formby videos in...! See you around, Plissken.

I agree I have watched it a couple of times now hoping it will get better but it doesn't, it is a really boring film.

I think it would be more helpful if you included a little more information on the film itself. When was it made? Who else stars in it? Give us more an idea of what the film is about. I have never watched it but what i can gather from your op is that it is about a man who lives the same day over - why? how? There must be more to this film...
