I have always loved romantic comedies and knew I would like watching Bring it Up Baby and Groundhog Day in class, and don't get me wrong I did, but I did realize that romantic comedies aren't that great. I'v always been a fan of the light-heartedness, the fluffy plot, the expected ending, and the anticipation that leads up to the two main characters getting together. However, sitting through Groundhog Day I found myself being very bored. From the get-go it was obvious that Phil and Rita were going to get together, and after about the sixth Groundhog Day it just got stupid. The concept of the film is very creative, and I understand why it's enjoyable, but when looking at it with a critical eye it gets old very fast. That doesn't mean I didn't like it, I just realized that I have a much more keen eye for films these days. I will always enjoy romantic comedies, but now that I know what a "good" film is, they've kind of dropped on my list of must-sees.
