Review: Groundhog Day

Seen 5/4/15

2/4

I am confused as to why this is considered one of the most profoundly philosophical movies out there. I really didn't find much; I'm sure there is a little that I missed, but whatever that is can be no more than technical terminology applied unnecessarily to common-sensical phenomena. This movie isn't very profound at all; it simply echoes a situation, unintentionally, that appears in Existential philosophy, particularly in Camus.
As far as the movie goes.... I don't hate it. I appreciate the resolution-- Bill Murray's newfound compassion. While I despise his acting deep within my stomach, I didn't mind the relationship. Murray is certainly better here than in Razor's Edge, but even so, his level of talent is pitiful.
There are funny moments, and a nice feeling throughout, so this movie sits better with me than most of its genre.
