Review/Film; Bill Murray Battles Pittsburgh Time Warp
In Groundhog Day, playing a formerly smug weatherman who finds himself condemned to relive one Feb. 2 over and over again in Punxsutawney, Pa., Bill Murray explains his feelings to two bleary-eyed, beer-drinking locals. What would you do if you were stuck in one place and everything was exactly the same and nothing that you did mattered? he asks despairingly. The two strangers listen very sympathetically. They didnt have to be trapped by a magic spell to know what he means. That glimmer of recognition is what makes Groundhog Day a particularly witty and resonant comedy, even when its jokes are more apt to prompt gentle giggles than rolling in the aisles. The storys premise, conceived as a sitcom-style visit to the Twilight Zone, starts out lightweight but becomes strangely affecting. Phil Connors, Mr. Murrays amusingly rude Pittsburgh television personality, surely deserves to be punished for his arrogance. But who in the audience hasnt ever wished time would stand still and offer a second, third or even a 20th chance?
