Caught in time
Groundhog day (1993)

Director: Harold Ramis
Cast: Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott

The tandem composed by Harold Ramis (the address) and Bill Murray (performer) gave their best fruit in this hilarious movie, a film designed to entertain family that will soon surpass those expectations to become a modern classic.
Ramis and Murray met during the filming of "The Nutty Platoon" and also worked together in the highly recommended "what about Bob?", Directed by Ramis.
Murray has often been criticized and is an actor who does not enjoy all the prestige it deserves, often engaged in productions of dubious entity has demonstrated that when the time is propitious is one of the best comic actors Americans, in Trapped in time signed their best possibly role in a film made to your specifications.
Murray is Phil, a presumptuous and conceited TV presenter in charge, much to his regret, for years a rebroadcast over the traditional celebration of Groundhog Day in the small town of Punxsutawney, will accompany the event, forming part of its television team , Rita (Andie McDowell) and Larry (Chris Elliott). Trancurre the day as normal but Phil wants to finish as soon as possible and return to the city, their plans, however, will come to naught when an unexpected snow storm forced the team to stay overnight in the village.
The next morning, to wake up, Phil has the strange sensation to re-live the previous day, until he discovers that it is not just a feeling, again and again, day after day, return to the days of the marmot in Punxsutawney .
Based on a not too original or too risky, Harold Ramis achieved with Trapped in time to make a film round, a film with really memorable moments and gags desternillantes, Bill Murray has enough space to develop their full potential humorous, the character of Phil it evolves through various stages, the initial disbelief, the final positivism, passing through a hilarious stage suicide, Phil lives hundreds of times on the day of the marmot and you have to invent solutions to make than a day that is always the same, although their solutions are not always the most successful.
The film is magnificent, with an extremely dynamic and lively rhythm, but avoid the mistakes of the usual modern comedies, there are no sketches or free of sentimentality balance, Trapped in time meets the standards of the comedy classic, seeking film suitable for the whole family but without giving up the intelligence or quality.
The comic film has traditionally been undervalued, despite the fact that everybody agrees that it is always more difficult to laugh to do mourn, Trapped in time has no more claim to make you laugh, and it certainly succeeds. It no longer makes movies like this.
