About the project: How would you spend your time if forced to repeat the same day over and over again? Phil Connors, a seasoned big-city weatherman, is frustrated to be to reporting the annual Groundhog Day Ceremony in small town Punxsutawney, PA.

After disdainfully covering the rodent's negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it's February 2 once more.
