Maybe not my favorite comedy of all time, but definitely in my Top 10, emminently rewatchable, and hits all the right notes. Interestingly, I tend to think of this movie around Christmas, even though it takes place on another holiday (I suppose it's the winter setting, as well as the movie's themes). Bill Murray is at his quirky, irreverant best, and Andie MacDowell is great opposite. The various townspeople provide a welcome, colorful backdrop. I heard it said that guys tend to like this more than women, but I really don't see any particular reason why this should be so (i.e. this isn't a "guy humor" movie). Definitely family friendly, and worth watching if you haven't seen it. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreA neighbor told me he thought this was the dumbest movie ever because they never explained WHY he was stuck in the same day. The simplistic plot device was just not the point. What do you do with eternity when there are no consequences. Compares to "Bruce Almighty" in message without being so painfully obvious or having Jim Carey yukking it up.

This movie was more than a comedy. I watch this when I'm down in the dumps, or need to take a look at how I'm living my life. Almost anything with Bill Murray in it is top-notch. See "Razor's Edge." WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

...but then, that's kind of the movie in and of itself. This is one of Bill Murray's best movies... and it's a lot of fun! WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI have to agree with what others have said here. Don't want to put people down who don't like it. They are certainly entitled to their opinions. But enjoying this takes a certain ability to just allow the movie to happen. Murray and MaCowell are as good as they ever are. Over all the acting is average. The comedy is pretty sophisticated at times; not so much in others.The story is very intriguing though. On one level it's just a light comedy. On another level it's very deep. If you can interact with it, you'll like it. If you need something in your face that takes you on a thrill ride, you should look somewhere else. Again, don't want to offend, but there is a good chance anyone under the age of 21 might just be too bored. So beware. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

If I was given a chance to replay the time that it took to watch this movie I would have wisely chosen to bash my brains in instead. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
