Review of Bob Roberts (1992) by Compi24 — 02 Sep 2016
Come to watch two unlikable characters deliver a series of softball gags that ultimately aim to make light of the mentally ill? You may have come to the right place. Because, for me, "What About Bob?" is a bit of a comedic snafu.
It's one of those films that has all the pieces seemingly in place for assured comedic greatness (Frank Oz directing, Bill Murray/Richard Dreyfuss co-starring). Unfortunately, though it's also one that just so happens to underdeliver in almost every comedic fashion.
What ensues is a blase and stilted film, with a third-act, out-of-left-field twist that I just didn't find funny. I expected a bit from more from everyone involved.
