What a cool movie! Watched it more than once and it's unusual for me to do so.
But I have one complaint.
Phil is basically a jerk and Rita only reprimands him when he decides to order lots of food...and says something about being condemned to have depression.
Isn't the movie supposed to be about being kind and considerate? Depression is a disease and has nothing to do with being arrogant or a bad person...it's organic. Her reaction to his eating spree cause her a strong reaction. I guess it's because our society has an unhealthy relationship with food full of shame and guilt and tries to punish those who dare to eat more. Her character is portrayed as kind and sweet...which I don't think is exactly the case. Mocking, reprimanding or being angry at an adult person because of that was pretty strange. If Rita got angry at him when he insulted someone else it would make more sense.
That would be a nice idea for a second Groundhog Day, this time with Rita being in the loop. After all, everybody has something to improve.
