Groundhog Day

I think just about everyone has a soft spot for ol' Bill Murray and Groundhog Day is one of his classics.  He stars as a cantankerous weather reporter sent to a small town overnight for their annual Groundhog Day Festival.  The twist is that the day repeats over and over again until *spoiler alert* he has redeemed himself.

This movie is another good example of "movie magic" and will amaze your kids and spark much discussion.  It is a little slow to start though.

Rating: It holds up to repeated viewings and it hasn't aged too badly (except for Andie McDowell's wardrobe.  That waistcoat!!). It's a great introduction to Bill Murray and perhaps will be a gateway to his entire back catalog for you.  Although much of that catalog is not so suitable for kids.

Naughty bits:  There are some mature themes (sexy time references, drink driving) and a bit of course language.

Snacks:  Flapjacks

Family In-quotes: "Am I right or am I right? Or am I right? Am I right?"
