Screwball/Romantic Comedies


Groundhog day was a really great film. I liked how he kept waking up to the same song on the radio every day trying to figure out what was going on and trying to find a way to get out of it. As time goes by and we don't know how long he has been living the same day over and over again it was funny how he was able to say when certain things would happen at any given time like when a dog would bark. He also uses this to his advantage many times throughout the movie. One of the best places we see this is when he walks up to an armored truck and knows when the guards would get distracted and is able to walk away with a bag of money. He uses this to find many ways to try and get Rita to fall in love with him and she keeps rejecting him. In the end we find that he just needed to be himself in order to get her.
