Danny Rubin, the creator of the original screenplay for Groundhog Day, had mixed feelings of the final movie. "It's a great movie, and it has made my life a lot easier in many ways. However, I quickly learned that working as a writer in Hollywood, you have to compromise in order for your work to be produced. The fact that Harold Ramis had interest and took the time to edit and polish the script so it got made, plus help with finding funding, as well as directing the movie, I'm very grateful for all of that. At the same time, when I watch the movie, I see more comedy than what I intended, more of a romantic story than was ever in my script, many of the darker elements toned down. Something feels off when you watch something you created and there are things you don't remember in your vision and now they are there. Again, I don't want to come off ungrateful. I understand the odds of getting a movie made from a spec script are similar to winning the jackpot in the lottery. Thanks to Harold Ramis taking an interest in the script, I now live a comfortable life where money is never a worry. The movie just didn't turn out fully how I envisioned, and that's something I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life."
