Watched it with a friend last night who hadn't seen it before. Noticed something I glossed through before... At the big party/finale when Phil is playing the piano, the piano teacher gloating says to Andie McDowel's character, "He's my student!" How does she know that?

A better line would have been, "He started lessons with me this afternoon," or something like that.

So you'd think I could get the spelling right:
Groundhog Day
No apostrophe S in there.
