I gave the film four stars last night, but having slept on it I woke up today (to Sonny and Cher on the radio) and realized that GROUNDHOG DAY is a perfect comedy, and that I'd been a schmuck – it clearly deserves top score.

Picturesque location (small Irish island) and interesting premise (blood-sucking aliens who rejects alcohol) aside - this film just didn't grab me.

Father and daughter hangs out and eat potatoes. Perfect film.

On second viewing 2012 still holds up as the funniest comedy of the last decade. The build-up drags on for too long, but once it gets going (when Cusack starts running) it's an absolute hilarious/ridiculous piece of cinema. Too bad they killed off six+ billion characters and can't make a sequel (2012 2?).
