I enjoyed it quite a bit.

If you all haven’t seen Happy Death Day, you should. Not as good as Groundhog Day, but a great take on the repeating day story.

That was good, but here’s the extended one minute and 45 seconds version for even more wonderfulness.

I loved how the groundhog became Bill’s emotional support animal.

On February 2,I always read Joanne Fluke’s Peach Cobbler Murder, which starts on Groundhog Day with the lead character’s boyfriend giving her two pounds of sausage meat. Get it? Ground Hog!

Of course the “peach” was in “impeachment” is a total coincidence.

We watched it again on Sunday night.

Still holds up in most ways. Yeah, but here and there … some not appropriate stuff played for humor.

Ned… Ryerson. “Needlenose Ned”? “Ned the Head”? C’mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn’t graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well?
