Plot hole
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
Yesterday, the AMC channel was playing “Groundhog Day” all day. I watched it about 1 1/2 times because it’s a good movie.
About half-way through the second viewing I started wondering why if Phil was sick of re-living the same day over and over, why was going to be each night? What would have happened if he stayed up all night and didn’t have to beat up that alarm clock each morning?
they actually addressed that – the day reverts when he goes to sleep. (mentioned when Andi MacDowell is watching the clock flip to 12.) that said, I was wondering if he’d stayed up long past the blizzard past, got back to Pittsburgh… and then woke back on on 2/2 in Punxsutawney. One imagines, in the 10,000 years he was stuck there that he might have tried that.
