In Brief: Pretty shameless Groundhog Day riff conjures some charm and personality of its own. Editors, Milioti are best assets.

VOR:   Team fussed cleverly over time-loop details and cast some zesty, memorable women. But romance is thin. Whole package admirable but not memorable.

Grade: B–


Golden Globe Nominations:
Best Picture (Musical/Comedy)
