ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Bill Murray is a jaded TV weatherman, who finds himself in
a time loop: he's forced to repeat the same day over and over, while reporting on
Groundhog Day festivities.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - No nudity. There's a tame and restrained "morning
after" bed scene. Nothing is shown.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Murray punches his insurance man in the nose. There is a
segment where he comically commits suicide in a variety of ways: Driving into a rock
quarry, diving from a ledge, electrical appliance in the bathtub, etc. When the day starts
over again, he's alive and well and no worse for the wear. None of the suicides are
portrayed graphically. A street beggar passes away in his sleep.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murray is driven to crime and suicide from despair about his
fate. Sexual manipulation is examined, albeit in a light-hearted way.
MESSAGE - Every day is filled with untapped potential.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
