While Murray's deadpan putdowns and dry dismissals of provincial peccadilloes are the comic highlights, Groundhog Day is no supercilious rip of small-town U.S.A.

Groundhog Day may not be the funniest collaboration between Bill Murray and director Harold Ramis... Yet this gentle, small-scale effort is easily the most endearing film of both men's careers, a sweet and amusing surprise package.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Murray hasn't made a comedy this winningly dumb and smart and -- yes -- sweet in a long time. If, indeed, he ever has.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

A movie that continually replays a single day could quickly become tedious but, strangely enough, Groundhog Day never does.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Murray's wiseacre persona is perfect for what could be saccharine material in other hands.
