6/30/2023 0 Comments Deja vu movie rotten tomatoes![]() ![]() ~ Mark Deming, RoviĪs a test-prep tutor, stuck in a loop of trying and failing and trying and failing to grow your tutoring business, you should see a lesson in this. He starts to respect people, he tries to save the life of a homeless man, and he discovers that he's falling in love with Rita and therefore wants to be someone that she could love in return. ![]() But the more Phil relives the same day, the more he's forced to look at other people's lives, and something unusual happens: he begins to care about others. Soon, no matter what he does, he's stuck in Februnot imprisonment nor attempted suicide nor kidnapping the groundhog gets him out of the loop. The next morning it happens again, and then again. Phil is eager to beat a hasty retreat, but when a freak snowstorm strands him in Punxsutawney, he wakes up the next morning with the strangest sense of déjà vu: he seems to be living the same day over again. On February 2, 1992, Phil, Rita, and Larry are sent on an assignment that Phil especially loathes: the annual Groundhog Day festivities in Punxsutawney, PA, where the citizens await the appearance of Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who will supposedly determine the length of winter by his ability to see his own shadow. Phil displays a charm and wit on camera that evaporates the moment the red light goes off he is bitter, appallingly self-centered, and treats his co-workers with contempt, especially his producer Rita (Andie MacDowell) and cameraman Larry (Chris Elliot). Or, if you have some bizarre aversion to movie trailers, then here's a great synopsis from Mark Deming:īill Murray plays Phil, a TV weatherman working for a local station in Pennsylvania but convinced that national news stardom is in his grasp. But it should be. Perhaps it's best if you just watch the trailer (a few times) before we continue. ![]() Thus, the holiday is now officially based on the movie, which previously had been based on the holiday, formerly and once again known as Groundhog Day. Even so, it should be noted that the the holiday was officially renamed "Groundhog Day" in honor of Groundhog Day, the movie, on Groundhog Day, the holiday, February 2, 1997. Technically, the holiday predates the movie. That's pretty impressive, considering you can get a hotel room right now for just $340/night in Houston, TX, where The Super Bowl will be played this weekend. Case in point, hotel rooms in Punxsutawney are currently going for around $450/night. Since its debut in 1993, the movie has inspired an entire cult of followers who descend upon Punxsutawney, PA, spending hundreds of dollars on local hotels, just to be part of an event that makes the Kentucky Derby seem like a marathon. Seriously, how good is Groundhog Day (96% "Fresh" - Rotten Tomatoes)? And while we're at it, let's keep an eye out for lessons that may help independent tutors who just can't seem to grow their companies beyond a band of three or four tutors. With that established, let's take a look at the true meaning of the American Classic, Groundhog Day (#6 and #34 on IMDb's Top 100 List). If you haven't seen the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray, then SPOILER ALERT: it's better than your favorite movie! It just is. ![]()
