This blog assignment doesnt really have a real rubric so im going to just give my thoughts on the movie "Groundhog day" which we watched in Art of Film. This movie is starring Bill Murphy as a cocky, mean, overall dick reporter who was sent to do the reoprt on groundhogs day in the small town of Puxatawney Pennsylvania. His day never really ends because every morning he wakes up to the same song, at the same time, on the same day. Although the plot is completely unbeleivable, the movie as a whole was very good. I really enjoyed almost the whole film. some positive things about it were the fact that it was very funny but not over the top, always kept me entertained and intrigued, and gave pretty good life lessons overall that relate to most peoples lives. for every positive, there is a negative. some things i did NOT like about this movie was the random characters who were introduced but were short lived and annoying (ned reierson, and the 1st chick who he tried to...have relations with). also in the middle of the movie before he started only doing good deeds it was very long and repetitive and lost my attention for about a 15 min span.
overall i rate Bill Murray and the movie as a whle 3 stars out of 4. it was very very good, i liked it alot and would reccoment it to everyone but not an alltime classic
( i know the pic above is from caddy shack...but c'mon that movie is tight...)

good entry pat, I liked how you pointed out your positives and negatives in the movie. I agree that the short-lived characters weren't necessary.
good review, i feel that it did get repetitive to at the end, maybe just emphasizing how much it takes to get rita. Maybe not though. There were good sides and bad sides to the movie as well.
