Well, it’s Groundhog Day… again.
It may have been last weekend but I’ve only just caught up on the dicussion about the actual amount of time Phil Connors spends repeating February 2nd in Groundhog Day.
There is this manual assesment of the film’s timeline as well as the definitive response from the writer Danny Rubin.
