I used to watch Groundhog Day every Feb 2nd. Now, I watch reactors watch Groundhog Day every Feb 2nd.

Harold Ramis has worked with Bill Murray several times and found that Murray gets tired and more sarcastic as the shoot goes on. So, he shot the movie in reverse so the sarcastic Phil would appear first, and the nice Phil would appear last.
Ghostbusters
Genius move, Mr. Ramos!
Hope you’re in Heaven ❤
This is the movie that invented Time Loops. Every Tv show, movie and game that has a time loop is inspired by this movie. Sometimes to a 2nd or 3rd degree. Absolutely brilliant script.
One of the best decisions they made was leaving the magic completely unexplained. A modern remake would probably make it explicit what caused the loop to start and why it happened, but this version took that part out before it got to the final draft, giving the main character and his personal journey more room to breathe.
The screenwriter and director insisted on leaving time loop without explanation and rejected the studio's demand to add it to the film, thereby making it more realistic. Nowdays people in the industry rarely have balls to protect their artistic vision.
There is a theory that the bartender was doing it, since he seems to have a knowing smirk when Phil is finding out Rita's favourite drink and what she drinks to.
I love this movie. There is a deleted scene that shows Phil's ex-girlfriend putting a spell on him to trap him in a time loop. I think what broke the spell is when he realizes and says, " I don't care what happens tomorrow. I'm happy now." He learned how to care about others and just as important, to love himself. Great movie.
"The Man Who Knew Too Little" is another Bill Murray movie that often gets overlooked, but happens to be one of my personal favorites.
I saw this at sea in the USN. At sea you're doing the same thing every day, talking to the same people, having the same conversations over and over for months at a time. It hit home.
I was in the USN as well. DDG-73. I shared a story in the comments here you might appreciate.
I agree with you, though. I used to go out to the smokers every morning and say, "Oh! What do we have here today?" Then I'd peak my head outside and say, "Oh! More fu**n' water! How about that?!"
What were you on, btw?
Love this classic. It was filmed in Woodstock, Illinois. the quarry scene was filmed in my hometown of Rockford, Illinois. It was the talk of the town back then. we had never had a Hollywood movie of any kind filmed there.
Chris Elliot aka "Larry" was also in an older tv show called "get a life" which is ironically on a GTA building in Grand Theft Auto 4. We always love watching this at this time of year. @ 7:32 is when everyone wanted groundhog tacos.. lol J/K 😁😆😅🤣 Thank you for adding this video @PopcornRoulette. have a great day everyone.
It's similar to A Christmas Carol, if you think about it. A bitter, selfish man goes to bed, has a bad dream (or is it?) and wakes up as the kindest, most loved man in town.
No matter how many times I watch this, I smile.
One of the best, most endearing reactions I’ve seen to this movie. The beautiful writing that showed character growth from despicable jerk to decent man brought a tear to her eye, and in the end she was cheering for him. This is story telling at its finest. I saw a documentary in which Ramis stated that religious scholars, philosophers, and philanthropists discussed the deeper implications of the themes in this story and stated how it expressed so much of man’s journey to finding meaning in life. It has always been my favorite movie, one with great characters, great dialogue, and a little mystery.
The director Harold Ramis who also played the doctor said that Phil was trapped in the loop for 10 years even though the original plan was to trap him for 10.000 years. According to the website Wolf Gnards, which ran the numbers for how long Phil was trapped and it was 8 years, 8 months and 16 days. Before Ramis died he revised his estamate and said it could have been atleast 10 years but could also have been upto 30 and 40 years.
The original script contained a final confession by Phil conners telling Rita
" You want to know whats really amazing? I have been waiting for you every day for 10.000 years. I dream of you every night of my life. You have been my constant weapon against total despair, and know you exist has kept me alive. "
I gotta check out how they "ran the numbers" on something like this lol
@@hulkslayer626 I think it was based on "It takes 10,000 hours to become an expert." Adding up the skills they demonstrated Phil had learned, I think you get somewhere around number.
@MightyDrakeC yeah, see, that's why I think it would be so hard to come up with a number. They're assuming he is a master. For instance, the ice sculpture. His ability to make her i.age out of snow and ice was seriously impressive! But, that doesn't make him a master of sculpting ice if he only practiced sculpting her face over and over and over. He could be great at that, but still not be so good at other designs. Also, 10,000 hours is only 3 years if you practice 8 hours a day. There are 24 hours in a day. So he he could theoretically do 8 hours a day ice sculpting and 8 hours playing piano everyday and become an expert in both in roughly 3 years. Like I said, I have to check out that video because I don't think I'm gonna agree with much lol I'm a bit nit picky hahahaha
@@hulkslayer626 I've kind of gravitated to the 10,000 year thing. Barely imaginable. Albeit, even 30+ years would be soul crushing.
@MightyDrakeC yeah, I would guess sanity would vanished if it was more than a couple years lol
I swear I have seen this movie before, I'll watch it tommorrow.
I used to see one of the armored truck guards all the time when I was in high school, between 1972 and 1974. He was the father of one of my friends. I was so surprised to see him in the film.
It is said to take around 10 000 hours to master a craft.
So ice sculpting, piano, plus something else, would take 30 000 hours.
Considering 10 effective hours a day makes for 3 000 days.
Lets round up to 3 650 days, making it an easy estimate of 10 years.
And that is in total focus to just those three things. So more than 10 years for sure.
"The movie, as everyone knows, is about a man who finds himself living the same day over and over and over again. He is the only person in his world who knows this is happening, and after going through periods of dismay and bitterness, revolt and despair, suicidal self-destruction and cynical recklessness, he begins to do something that is alien to his nature. He begins to learn."
- Roger Ebert
Ramis had to push to get the scenes with the dying old man in. He felt that Phil had to learn that though he could help people throughout the day, there were things he could not change. That he was not, in fact, a god.
There is a theory that the old man was actually God. Or something akin to God. Responsible for making the day repeat itself.
(Then there’s another theory the groundhog is God. He does predict the weather after all.)
Happy Ground Hog Day and Happy 44th Birthday to my little brother. Three months to my 54th.
This has always been one of my favorite movies. I saw it in the theater when it came out. I was 13 then, and have seen it dozens of times since then. Glad you enjoyed it!
the announcer saying "It's cold out there" and also the mayor - that's Bill Murray's brother
Nice. So good to see a youngster finding and enjoying this classic. One of my all time favourites. Murray is just perfect in the role. For another feel-good movie with an outstanding performance from the lead actor and great support from the rest of the cast, try Sliding Doors.
The key moment in this wonderfully charming film is when Phil turns to Rita and says: "I know you think I'm a jerk. That's okay. I am a jerk." That instant of self-realization, and his subsequent reform, is the core of this movie.
Stephen Tobolowsky played the Spaceball captain that yells you captured their stunt doubles!
He starred in his own sitcom once too, if I recall correctly.
Steven Tobolowski (Ned) is a famous character actor who has been in lots of great movies and TV shows. Chris Elliot is currently the most famous for his role as Roland in Schitt's Creek. He is the son of Bob Elliot a comedian and actor most famous for his radio performances as part of the comedy duo Bob and Ray. Chris' daughter Abby Elliot, a cast member of SNL and currently part of the cast of The Bear.
The movie was very successful on its release in 1993 and has grown in esteem since. Buddhist, Christian, and Jewish scholars have analyzed the film as a religious allegory. Phil could be seen as a Buddha-like figure who has reached the edge of enlightenment who chooses to return to Earth to teach others.
Some see Phil's transition in light of the (supposed) stages of death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. At one point he thinks that he is a God because he can't even die by his own hand. But he is forced to realize that he hasn't actually beaten death when he is unable to save the old man (though he is able, and willing, to make his last hours warm and comfortable). It is then and only then that he begins to make himself a better person for the sake of others, rather than using others to benefit himself.
I came across something saying that Abby Elliot was originally up for the part of Alexis Rose on Schitt's Creek, but had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. I wonder how that would have gone in working with her dad, who was already cast in a supporting role?
I LOVE Groundhog Day! 🖤
FUN FACT: the same year, a movie with a similar storyline (recurring day) came out called "12:01." The producers of 12:01 were so certain that the creators of Groundhog Day stole their idea, they considered a lawsuit. Interestingly, it was likely just a coincidence.
@@keithbk I remember this movie and am unhappy that it doesn't get referenced whenever comparisons between movies are made that have this plot.
Eu também gostei de 12.01 e consigo assistir em português ( dublado ) pelo UA-cam.
I was in the Navy and one time while coming back from deployment, we had to cross the International Date Line going from East to West. That means that we had to repeat a day. So, my ship being the chuckle fu**s they were, decided to play this movie that day... on loop for the full entirity of the 2 day, day.
Ironically, Bill hated making this as a comedy. He thought if it was a dark serious movie, he could be up for an Oscar. Harold Ramis, who worked with Bill on Stripes and Ghostbusters, directed the movie. Bill came to hate Ramis while shooting Groundhog. It wasn't until years later, Bill found out through the grapevine that Ramis was dying. He drove to the police station of Ramis's town and asked to be taken to Harold's house. Bill visited everyday until Harold died.
Ironically, the HBO short film from which this premise was drawn, was indeed a much more serious treatment, starring the actor Michael Ironside. It's called "12:01 pm," and is available on youtube.
I started watching this reaction earlier meaning to finish it later today, and now it’s going live tomorrow!
I finished it
????
In true "Groundhog Day" spirit, it'll go live again every day from now on, it seems.
❤❤❤ great reaction to a great movie happy Groundhog Day enjoy winter❤❤❤❤
Technically it is the same day again and again. It just can be repeated in different ways depending on ones action. Also the amount of sleep doesnt matter since you are basically returned to the amount of sleep you had when the day starts all over again.
I still consider this to be the best movie ever made
There is a great romcom (well, sort of a romcom, actually a unique movie) with good rating, but zero reactions "Definitely, Maybe" with Ryan Reynolds and Isla fisher.
What if there's no reaction video tomorrow, there wasn't one today!"
This is Bill Murray favorite movie in his entire life 🙌.
Well he did get to kiss Andie MacDowell quite a lot
I've read quite a few theories about how many days Phil relived. The 'popular' number 10,000 (almost 27.5 years) came from director Harold Ramis and seems to be the one most people cling to. That said, there was a whole effort dedicated to how long it would take Phil to learn each of the skills he demonstrates so well and that number came to 12,400 days (almost 34 years). For example, 10 years to become an expert at ice sculpting = 3,650 days, 10.5 years to master playing piano = 3,833 days and 12 years to become fluent in French = 4,380 days.
Ramis has tossed around the numbers from up to 10,000 years back down to around 40 years, which I think is a solid estimate. He wouldn't have started the French lessons until after he became bored of Nancy and the maid (and probably others). Plus it probably took a while to get that bank truck heist down pat. Taking time to get to really know all the townspeople before he started attempting to self delete likely took many more years. 12,400 days doesn't feel like it's enough for everything he accomplished.
He didn't have to master French or the piano. He only had to master a few lines and one song. Both are much easier than people think. He could also do several at once. A hour or two playing piano in the morning, an hour or two sculpting in the afternoon, an a French book before bed.
But I always wondered, why the teacher stated "He's my student!" With all that he was doing daily why would take time to see her once he actually learned how to play. She wouldn't even know him....@@RebelCowboysRVs
@@Kevonutube303 I think he goes an asks for lessons anyway. At some point he gets good enough that she is impressed enough to invite him to this party to play. He then keeps doing it for the invitation, and to be auctioned off. He likely got auctioned off several times to other women before the day we see.
someone did the math & he was stuck for 33 years
As an older dude....i have seen a lot of movies. Hard for me to fathom that there are people out there tat have never seen this movie.
Well yeah new people are born everyday ya know😅
It came out 2 years before I was born, I know that’s not much but I still think it’s fair enough 😂
It was actually filmed in small town upstate Illinois
"I recognize the insurance actor too"- Yes me too, he's the guy from Spaceballs who yells "You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!"
The actor who played Egon Spangler in the 2 Ghostbusters movies & the 2009 video game directed this movie Harold ramis
Great Movie. Fun fact the mayor of the town is Bill Murray real brother. Also there was suppose to be a scene that there was a witch who cursed Phil but they decided not to put it in and leave it open. Another movie with same time loop story but more serious and sci fi is The Edge of Tomorrow 2014 with Tom Cruise. Another great Bill Murray sarcastic comedy movie is MeatBalls. Also great rom com is Hero 1992 with Dustin Hoffman , Andy Garsia and the actress who plays here Nancy and the guy who plays Ned in a small roles.
I never heard of Edge of Tomorrow when it came out. I enjoyed it a lot. Albeit, it does suffer from some Grandfather Paradox issues, as with any story involving time travel.
I stumbled on the one-season TV series Reset that took the reliving the day idea and made an interesting story. It's a Chinese film, and part of what made it interesting was seeing daily life in modern China.
"He doesn't appreciate being a live mascot"...?? Most likely he's the happiest, most unthreatened animal alive! You don't understand how nature works.. It's horrible! Starve or get eaten..
2:47 this green screen looks more like a blue screen but what do I know🙃
Buster the Mayor, is Bill Murray's brother in real life.
I never knew that.
Nancy Taylor 🔥🔥🔥
Yes that is Chris Elliot and he was in Schitts Creek
It’s Groundhog Day, with Mia. Again. 😊
Larry was “The guy under the seats” on Letterman. Anyone remember?
It IS tiny, about 5,000 people. Phil lives at the library and there's a window built into the wall so that he heardly has any privacy at all. Phil doesn't seem to much care about living or dying or especially being friendly to tourists. --- DON'T DRIVE ANGRY!
Do you want to throw up here or in the car?--- Uh, I think... BOTH?
“The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.”
Willard scott ....right?
Songs, tears, honor, and a pine box are worth the box.
Back East it is called a Ground Hog .......
in the West it is called a Wood Chuck 👍
Did not know those were the same animal. The polecat and the skunk are the same animal, in the US anyway. Europe calls something else a polecat.
@@RebelCowboysRVs
Look it up. They are the same animal👍
Mia, This is a really fun film. It is directed by the late Harold Ramis, RIP. If you want to see another very good movie with Bill Murray, I recommend "Larger Than Life" a great 1996 family film about a very cute elephant, a motivational Speaker and their budding relationship. A very sweet film. Bill Murray stars with Jeanine Garafalo, Pat Hingle and a very young Matthew McConaughey. A very enjoyable film.
Finally, I recommend Bill Murray in the 2000 action film, "Charlie's Angels" based off the TV Show from the early 1980s. Murray stars with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and John Forsythe, the voice of Charlie from the original shows. I think you will like this one, Mia
My favorite of his is "What About Bob".
@@_MjG_ The Man Who Knew Too Little is also very funny if you've not seen it.
@ I don't recall seeing that one. I'll have to check it out.
The calendar says spring is six weeks away. LoL
I'd like to see Mia's reaction to Neverending Story.
Apparently, Phil was trapped in the loop for 34 years, which is also his age. So it litetally took him another lifetime to undo who he was. 😂
Yep.
To gain all those skills would take decades.
Harold Ramis, the director, said 10 years.
@KevyNova - Originally he said 10,000 and then changed it to 10yrs. But what culture said around 34yrs which seems like a better estimate. Especially with a person needing a whole lifetime to change.
@ that’s true, but I think it’s really meant to be a mystery. I bet even Phil lost count.
@@KevyNova Harold Ramis vastly underestimated the time it would take to learn all that stuff so 30 or so years seems more realistic and from what I understand the writer of the original story was heavy into Buddhist principles and based the period on the Buddhist concept of "enlightenment" taking 10,000 years. This was way too long for a movie so Ramis ballparked 10 years but when serious people took a look at it they came up with 33 years.
Chris Elliot is in a lot of stuff as a background character, one of the best comedies that actually stars him is Cabin Boy. Very underrated movie.
I first became familiar with him because of his frequent appearances on "Late Show with David Letterman". In more recent years, he had a supporting role on the Canadian sitcom "Schitt'$ Creek" as Roland Schitt.
Cabin Boy is a terrible movie, but I love it as well!
@@bluebear1985 Actually, it was called "Late Night with David Letterman" on NBC. The "Late Show with David Letterman" came later, when Letterman moved to CBS.
@@carlosurdaneta4361 That's true, but it was with the CBS show that I was old enough to be able to watch TV that late at night. 🙂
I love all the wall clocks in the restaurant. Hint hint.
Punxsutawney Phil is probably the most famous groundhog.
If you liked this, then you’ll love the movie The Fare. When I first started watching it, I thought that I was watching a Groundhog Day remake. I thought I would give it a few minutes to see what it did with it. Then I realized it was something totally different.
I see what you did there.
Amelia is such a beautiful name. You should not shorten it
I love this movie. ❤👍
Ok, you say you like comedies?
Let me list a few of my favorites:
Top Secret (1984)
Crazy Stupid Love (2011)
Superbad (2007)
The Holiday (2006)
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
Just Married (2003)
Hot Fuzz (2007)
But one film I would really like to recommend to you that is not really a comedy, but it will make you feel lots of emotions, is Steven Spielberg's "Hook (1994)"
Would love to see a reaction.
Groundhog Day, all over again!
Well Mia, I guess I shouldn't expect to see you in Albany any time soon.
It’s the Ground Hog.
A Rom-Com....how about Real Genius. A very early Val Kilmer movie.. ?
Or, Captain Ron with Kurt Russel, Martin Short and Mary Kay Place.
Are you ok, it seemed that you were sad?
I hope this cheered you up.
She knows karma's as make believe as the time loop, right?
The familiar looking insurance guy is Stephen Tobolowsky from Spaceballs, Memento, Adaptation, Archer, Dicktown, Californication, The Goldbergs, Schooled, the One Day at a Time reboot, Heroes, The Philadelphia Experiment, Roe Vs Wade, Great Balls of Fire, Bird on a Wire, Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael, The Grifters, Hello Ladies, The Time Traveler's Wife, Thelma and Louise, Freddy Got Fingered, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Radioland Murders, Single White Female, Sneakers, My Father the Hero, Mr Magoo, Freaky Friday, Miss Congeniality 2, Calendar Man, Justioce League Action, Arkham Origins, Peabody & Sherman, Robots, The Lorax, Hero, Mississippi Burning and about a zillion TV show guest spots.
There's also a theory that Ned the insurance guy is responsible for the time loop, and stopped it when Phil finally bought his insurance.
I dreamt that you typed that.
Us white chocolate lovers need to stick together. I avoid those bitter dark chocolate people.
Why can’t all of the chocolates get along!
why? it's not like we would eat your white chocolate.
The day changed after he got life insurance from Ned….
I want the movie where each day is different,
& he just commits insurance fraud/suicide every day & gets filthy rich
Lola Rennt should be the next time-bending movie.
Am I right or am I right, right right right.
My favorit romcom is "The Lady Eve" (1941).
I found out that I most Definitely do NOT like blood sausage.
JEFF was HERE 🏆
Ramis said that Bills character relived the same day over 10000 times
I'll watch anything with Mia twice
Didn't I just watch this?
Maybe you’re having your own personal Groundhog Day?
You just have to react to Palm Springs please. It's a movie with a very similar premise, but it's just as good, if not better than this one.
Phil was actually stuck in that day for 33 years
Not officially. The director originally said 10 years, but later revised it to around 30-40 years. Only the website Whatculture specified it was 33 years and 350 days, but nothing has ever officially been stated.
@ it would make sense though, if you think about it. Think of all the things he learned to do and do them quite successfully. I’m no expert on any of those things, but I would think it would take that long to learn all those things.
Fun film
There has been a rough calculation that Phil lived the same day over and over for the equivalent of 35-40 years.
That seems to be the general consensus based on the skills we see him pick up. My guess is somewhat longer cos he probably worked on others as well. I believe there was a skill or two that didn't make the cut, and that implies there were even more. It's deliberately left up to the viewer to decide how long they think it was.
Mia is the reason I watch this channel. But has she EVER said she disliked a movie? It would be nice to hear just once just to believe she's being honest.
I’m in the industry myself, so I greatly appreciate all the hard labor, as well as the small aspects, that go into production and I love gathering inspiration from every movie I see, no matter how small a detail may be. While a certain movie may not be something I would automatically be dying to see, I generally don’t ’dislike’ movies (especially with good plots like Groundhog Day). Movies to me are an experience that I can always gain something from 🙂
@@meliakelle Okay, good answer. But if you want to tell me one exception (one movie you've ever disliked) I'd be curious.
Did you ever have Deja Vie?
I usually enjoy your (specifically) reactions but, PLEASE don't mirror the picture from now on, pretty please!!! Here are a few Meg Ryan's favorite of mine for you to watch (if you haven't already) 1. When Harry Met Sally... (1989) 2. You've Got Mail (1998) 3. Kate & Leopold (2001), enjoy...
Great movie and Great review/ reactions. Thanks for letting us watch along.
It's been theorized that Phil was stuck in the time loop for about 12,000 days or 33 years.
That how long it took for a chronic douchebag to learn to stop being a douchebag.
Which myself, I think it would take much longer. But what do I know?
yes someone did the math on it
This is a GREAT film, but I found the sequel to be a bit ‘samey’ to be honest.
Why is everything backwards
It's to avoid getting taken down by YT because of copyright rules. The less that the clips display the actual movie, the better. Many reactors use picture reversals and watermarks (as in this case) as well as blurring and other gimmicks.
@ oh right. I’ve seen regular freebies that haven’t been caught yet, I haven’t made heads or tails on the differences
@@Struzzylive Who knows how they enforce their guidelines. It seems very arbitrary to me.
@@ericwalker8636 yea
Oh my. Adorably naive! You're like "he actually cares now!" And it's clearly an elaborate manipulation. He doesn't really learn to care until the end.
While there have been other stories in which the protagonist is stuck in a time loop, those stories usually end the loop after six or seven iterations. I love how this film took it so very far.
At the point where Phil said he saw the movie “Heidi II” at the theater 100 times, I figure he was 100 months (8+ years) in, since I doubt anyone would wish to see that same movie more than once per 30 days.
An early draft of the script had Phil keep track of his days by reading one page per day in the public library. The next day he could recognize that page and read the next. By the end, he had read the entire library. Figuring an established town library would have 50 racks of five shelves each, 30 books per shelf and 250 pages per book, that gives 1,875,000 days or 5,133 years. 😮 Mind boggling.
Mia, you asked....as calculated by experts and studies worldwide, based on actual movie info, time to learn all the skills, memorizing, words actions etc. thru trial and error and the long arduous task of Phil learning to appreciate life and people for what they are and himself, for what he could/should be, 12,395 days! Almost 40 years! I know, I alone have seen this movie about 100 times......a mere drop in the bucket. Thanks for the reaction and for sharing, Mia. Great day.
Just so you don't cling onto that figure forever, it's actually almost 34 years... not 40. I was about to take your word for it and believe it was almost 40 years until another commenter gave the correct figure and I double-checked it for myself.
33 years when the math was done
I’m so delighted to see another reaction from you Amelia… Mia. 😊
I’m sure others here have mentioned this. I think the original story was to have it be something like the equivalent of 10,000 years of nothing but Groundhog days but Director Harold Ramis later said that it was closer to 10 years for Phil. One of the few nitpicks I have for the film is the piano teacher saying that Phil is her student. Obviously she is but she shouldn’t know it. Even if he did show up for a lesson that day would she truly believe she taught him how to be a professional quality pianist in just one lesson? I understand that on that last day we are just betting to see him being kind to those he’s grown to care about and she of course deserves her own. One thing. I’d watched this movie since it came out and probably watched a good chunk of the movie. Maybe even 75 times but in the 2010’s Michael Shannon became a popular actor. A few years ago, I was watching this and is the part where he gives the wrestlemania tickets to the newly married couple. And my mind is blown because I actually recognize Michael Shannon whom I’ve seen like I said maybe 75 times before in this movie.
Speaking of Comedy, Mia please watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice & rest of Naked Gun trilogy.
I subbed
The town set was the same as Back to the Future.
uhh sorry no; this was filmed in Illinoise, BTTF in California
32:50 He's spent ca. 13 thousand days there.
There's a lot of discussion as to how long Phil repeated Groundhog day. Given all the things that he mastered, etc. some speculate it could have been several decades, at least. One of the things I liked when I first saw it was that Phil was thinking things about the same time as the audience was... if it's the same day, I'll rob a bank. Next, I'll try to...
Some estimate that he spent decades caught in his loop. He only had cold showers the whole time
I bet someone in that town had hot water and he found it lol
