With America’s Groundhog Day 2022 (Pennsylvania’s tradition where a small furry animal makes a special weather forecast) almost upon us, one thing’s for sure: fans will be desperate to rewatch the classic movie of the same name.
Starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell, Groundhog Day revolves around cynical weatherman Phil Connors (Murray), who is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities.
There, amid a wild blizzard, Phil is somehow caught in a time-warp and forced to relive the same day again and again.
It’s hardly surprising then, that since the 1993 premiere of Groundhog Day, the popular American tradition became synonymous with more than a weather-predicting animal.
Now, thanks to Billy Murray and Andi MacDowell’s hit movie, the term has become associated with any repetitive scenario.
The 1993 time-loop classic is available on a number of global streaming platforms, but read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Groundhog Day in the UK.
