Groundhog Day in my opinion was far better than the previous romantic comedy we watched.
My favorite part of the movie was by far the editing. It was ingenious. For example, when Bill Murray asks the random pretty lady who her 12th grade english teacher was, the editors chose to immediately jump right to the next day encounter between the two. This made me laugh quite hard, along with the rest of the class.
Again the editing was very humorous and effective when there is a series or "montage" of Phil getting slapped. This helps illustrate the point that he is trying so hard to sleep with his co-worker but is unsuccessful. Also, the suicide montage was another excellent display of editing by the makers of this film because it makes a funny, yet serious and very time efficient point of Phil's state of life. The editing takes away from the normal extreme seriousness involved with suicide and gives it a lighter side that we can laugh at.
All in all, I enjoyed the movie and i give it 1.25. thumbs.

I also loved that part when he asks the lady all the questions and then the next day pretends that he knows exactly who she is. It's so great because I think everyone has encountered someone that says they know you but you have no idea who they are and you just play along out of pity. Welll done DAN!
Dano, nice post, I also enjoy the part where Phil continuously gets slapped by all the women. One question know... whats with 1.25 thumbs up?... how does that work
