Phil Connors, an arrogant and smarmy weatherman for a Pittsburgh local news station, his new producer Rita (Andie MacDowell), and cameraman Larry (Chris Elliott) go to [[Everytown, America|Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania]] to film the Groundhog Day festival. Phil loathes the annual celebration and is surly throughout the proceedings, wanting nothing more than to pack up and go home. That proves impossible when a sudden blizzard arrives and closes the roads, forcing Phil and the crew to stay the night.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Phil becomes one when initially trying to seduce Rita (see [[Save Scumming]]).

* [[Men Don't Cry]]: After Rita says that the perfect man for her wouldn't be afraid of crying, Phil responds with, "This is a ''man'' we're talking about, right?" And he ''himself'' [[Subverted Trope|subverts this belief]] later when he finally [[Manly Tears|learns how precious life is]] through his futile attempts to save a homeless old man from dying of old age.

* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Phil pulls a [[Mistaken for Gay]] on Ned one day just to scare him off.

* [[Montage]]: Used effectively a couple of times.
