An asshole anchorman is sent to a little town to do a fluff story on Groundhog Day, but karma bites him in the ass when the town gets snowed-in.

A fantastic movie not just for the usual things, but for the execution of its idea. Unlike so many movies that have its elements, this one stays grounded and accessible. This movie is well-loved and highly recommended.

• This movie has its title because it's set on Groundhog Day.

It sounds like an association with the newspaper-reader in the background, associated with his posture and character, as though Phil is trying to see through his perspective.
